Chairman and Chief Executive  
Officer’s Report

This was a year of significant change and achievement for TWE. 
Our ability to deliver a quality financial result and make progress 
against our TWE 2025 ambition and game plan has been 
outstanding and is testament to the commitment and strength  
of our team, with the support of our partners and customers.

Tim Ford Chief Executive Officer

INTRODUCTION

Dear shareholders,

We are pleased to present the 2021 Annual Report for 
Treasury Wine Estates Limited. 

At the start of the fiscal year we launched our strategic 
blueprint for the next five years, headlined by our 
ambition to be the world’s most admired premium 
wine company. 

This ambition is underpinned by a commitment to 
being bold in our decision making and the way we 
innovate so that we can drive change in the world of 
wine. Supporting this is our DNA – our cultural code that 
defines who we are and how we behave so that we 
create a positive experience for everyone who touches 
our business.

Our ambition, game plan and DNA were launched 
against a backdrop of significant disruption including 
the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic, 
the Californian wildfires, and the introduction of import 
duties on Australian wine in China. They have been 
critical in grounding our response strategies and 
putting the consumer at the heart of everything we  
do and every decision we make. In doing so, the team 
has embraced disruption in a way that has informed 
our strategy, reshaped our business to drive growth, 
and permanently changed the way we engage with 
customers and consumers. 

We have demonstrated resilience and our ability to 
innovate and deliver collaborative customer and 
stakeholder partnerships that have ensured we can 
effectively respond to the changing landscape  
in which we operate. 

Change will continue to be ever present in our business. 
Now more than a year into the COVID-19 global 
pandemic, we have successfully embraced flexible 
working models and responded to consumer trends, 
including the acceleration of e-commerce and digital 
engagement, the rise of localism, increased in-home 
consumption and heightened social consciousness,  
to ensure we meet changing consumer expectations 
and needs.

The effective closure of the Chinese wine market to 
Australian wine was a significant event for Treasury 
Wine Estates and the Australian industry in F21.  
While this has presented challenges for TWE and 
across the Australian industry, it has also created 
opportunities for us to drive growth in other key global 
markets, demonstrating the strength of our diversified 
business model. Importantly, we remain committed  
to the China market for the long term and continue  
to invest in our team, our brands, and our relationships 
with customers and consumers.

TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 – 3

CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT (CONTINUED)

The strength of our team, our global diversified 
business model, our iconic brand portfolio, and our 
unrelenting focus on the consumer, means we are  
well placed to deliver on the long-term growth 
ambitions we set out in the TWE 2025 strategy.

CELEBRATING 10 YEARS

In F21, we celebrated 10 years of TWE and took the 
opportunity to reflect on how far our business has 
travelled since it was demerged from the Foster’s 
Group in 2011. There have been numerous milestones 
that have marked this journey, including our luxury  
and premium wine portfolio led growth strategy,  
the acquisition of Diageo wine in 2016, the acquisition  
of production and vineyard assets in Bordeaux in 2019, 
and the significant expansion of our South Australian 
luxury winemaking infrastructure. 

More recently, the resilience our business has shown  
in successfully managing macro environmental 
challenges has given us opportunities to reshape our 
business and ensure we are well positioned for  
long-term, quality growth in the years ahead.

We want to take this opportunity to recognise the 
significant contribution that many people have played 
in our growth and evolution during this past decade, 
from our team, past and present, through to partners, 
suppliers, communities, customers, and consumers,  
as well as our shareholders.

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

In F21 we delivered earnings before interest, tax, 
material items and SGARA (EBITS) of $510.3 million in line  
with the prior year, while our EBITS margin increased  
0.6 percentage points to 19.9%. TWE continues to target 
delivery of 25% Group EBITS margin.

In F21, TWE delivered strong growth in the $10-$30 
Premium portfolio in the Americas, EMEA and ANZ 
regions, led by 19 Crimes, Pepperjack, Squealing Pig, 
Beringer Brothers and Matua. These positive growth 
trends were moderated by ongoing global pandemic 
disruptions, higher COGS and significantly reduced 
shipments to Mainland China following the introduction 
of import duties on Australian wine.

TWE continued our premiumisation journey, with Net 
Sales Revenue (NSR) per case up in each region and 
the luxury and premium portolios contributing 77%  
of global NSR, up 71% in F20.

We fundamentally changed our business model in the 
United States in F21 to better position us for sustainable, 
long-term success. These significant changes included 
the divestment of a significant portion of the commercial 
portfolio. The Americas division continues to progress 
initiatives focused on the divestment and exit of other 
non-priority brands and these remain on track for 
completion in F22. 

Our diverse portfolio of brands continued to innovate 
and gain recognition with the launch of the Penfolds 
California Collection and the 19 Crimes Cali Red and 
new Rosé varietals. Wolf Blass was recognised as  
Red Winemaker of the Year at the 2021 International 
Wine Competition, and Pepperjack again, held its 
position as Australia’s number one Shiraz. 

Yellowglen also had reason to celebrate teaming up 
with Australian entertainment icon Dannii Minogue to 
celebrate 50 years with the launch of its limited edition 
50 Year Celebration Brut Cuvée.

Lindeman’s embraced sustainability, achieving  
carbon neutral status for its European product range. 
The brand also celebrated with its ‘Step into the 
Sunshine’ campaign, which pledged to plant one tree 
for every bottle sold, with the ultimate aim of planting 
370,000 trees.

All regions contributed to our F21 result, with key 
elements as follows:

•  Asia reported a 15% decline in EBITS to $205.4 million 
and an EBITS margin of 36.3% (down 2.8 ppts) with 
shipments to Mainland China significantly reduced 
following the implementation of import duties on 
Australian wine (Mainland China EBITS declined  
$77.3 million in F21). Pleasingly, this impact was partially 
offset by continued growth across the rest of the 
region, particularly for Penfolds Bin and Icon ranges, 
despite ongoing pandemic restrictions to key luxury 
sales channels. Margins were impacted by one-off 
product re-work and logistics costs, as well as 
committed brand investment in Mainland China.

•  Americas reported a 23.0% increase in EBITS to  

$168.3 million and an EBITS margin of 17% (up 4.2 ppts), 
with positive momentum accelerating across the 
retail and e-commerce channels for TWE’s premium 
brand portfolio. This momentum has been led by 19 
Crimes, which continues to outperform the market.

•  Australia and New Zealand reported a 10.0% increase  
in EBITS to $142.7 million and an EBITS margin of 23.7% 
(up 1.7 ppts) reflecting ongoing portfolio premiumisation 
which included growth in the Penfolds Bin and Icon 
portfolio. This was partially offset by the higher cost 
of goods sold (COGS) per case across the 
commercial and premium portfolios.

•  EMEA reported a 6% decline in EBITS to $46.6 million  
and an EBITS margin of 11.3% (down 2.1 ppts), with 12% 
top-line growth driven by strong performance in 
retail channels. Offsetting this were higher COGS  
and higher cost of doing business (CODB), including 
one-off Brexit related costs. TWE’s focus brands 
continue to perform strongly across key EMEA markets.

SUSTAINABILITY

THANKS AND CONCLUSION 

Looking ahead, we will remain focused on delivering 
sustainable top line growth and high, single-digit 
average earnings growth over the long term. 

We are positive on the outlook across key markets 
outside Mainland China and we will continue to build 
momentum behind the premium portfolio which has 
seen strong performance globally in F21. We will also 
continue to execute plans to deliver growth for Penfolds 
Bin and Icon ranges.

In F22 we enter the next phase of our journey under  
the brand and consumer focused divisional model led 
by Penfolds, Treasury Americas and Treasury Premium 
Brands. Each division is well positioned to leverage its 
unique strengths to deliver on our strategic priorities  
to drive quality growth over the long term. 

We are confident that our strategic agenda, including 
our elevated focus on digital consumer engagement 
and experience, data and technology, sustainability, 
culture and organisational capability, coupled with  
our new operating model, positions us well to respond 
to the changing landscape and progress our ambition 
of becoming the world’s most admired premium  
wine company.

Our people, alongside our suppliers, customers, and 
partners, remain critical to delivering on this agenda. 
With that in mind, we want to thank our global team 
members for their outstanding efforts during the year. 
We also want to acknowledge the care they continue 
to show one another, and the way they have embodied 
our DNA as they navigated another challenging year  
to help us deliver against our strategic agenda.

In closing, we would like to extend our thanks to you,  
our shareholders, for your ongoing belief, investment  
in, and support of, TWE.

Kind regards,

Paul Rayner 
Chairman  

Tim Ford  
Chief Executive Officer

In F21 we took a much bolder step towards 
sustainability leadership, with the release of our 
enhanced sustainability strategy, and an expanded 
suite of targets that respond to the topics that matter 
most to our business and our stakeholders.

The strategy reflects our ambition to cultivate a 
brighter future for everyone who touches our business 
and our products, with initiatives and programs focused 
on delivering against three newly established goals: 
building a resilient business; fostering healthy and 
inclusive communities; and producing wine sustainably.

Underpinning this ambition and our goals, we 
announced a number of new targets and commitments 
focused on enhanced water stewardship and working 
towards net zero emissions (scope 1 and 2) by 2030, 
including a 100% renewable electricity target across  
our global operations by 2024. 

These are in addition to our existing priorities with  
regard to health, safety and wellbeing including mental 
health through our Destination Zero Harm program, 
inclusion and diversity commitments and our 
sustainable packaging targets.

More information about our enhanced strategy,  
goals and the progress we are making against  
our commitments will be available in our 2021 
Sustainability Report. The report will be released  
later in the year and will be available online  
at www tweglobal.com/sustainability.

BALANCE SHEET STRENGTH AND DIVIDEND

TWE maintains financial metrics that are consistent 
with an investment grade credit profile.

The Company’s balance sheet continues to be  
strong with net debt down $376.5 million in F21 to 
$1,057.7 million (inclusive of $140.7 million currency 
benefit) and net debt to EBITDAS 1.6x down from  
2.1x in F20. Total available liquidity of approximately  
$1.2 billion was on hand at the end of F21 (F20: $1.4 billion).

Total capital expenditure (capex) for the year was  
$121.2 million comprising maintenance and replacement 
capital expenditure (capex) of $55.2 million, and 
growth capex including investment in South Australian 
luxury winemaking infrastructure and long-term 
technology investments of $66.0 million. 

Strong operating cash flow reflects a lower Californian 
vintage intake and an adjusted Australian vintage,  
in addition to the shift in the regional sales mix in Asia.  
F21 cash conversion was 100.8% and 96.9%, excluding 
the change in non-current luxury and premium 
inventory, in line with our target of 90% or above. 
Earnings per share (EPS) increased 1.8% to 34.7 cents 
per share and return on capital employed (ROCE) 
improved 10.8% demonstrating our continued 
disciplined approach to capital allocation.

For F21, TWE is pleased to declare a final dividend  
of 13 cents per share, fully franked, which brings the 
total dividend for F21 to 28 cents per share.

Operating and Financial Review

Treasury Wine Estates (TWE) is a premium focused, global 
leader in wine, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange 
(ASX). The Company is focused on delivering shareholder 
value through the production of wine, and marketing and 
selling quality wine brands to consumers around the world.

The following Operating and Financial Review contains 
significant details of TWE’s business activities and  
state of affairs that occurred during the year ended  
30 June 2021.

TWE’S BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

TWE is a vertically integrated wine business, focused  
on portfolio premiumisation supported by innovation, 
brand building investment, and global sales and 
marketing execution.

TWE’s brand portfolio is represented across the luxury, 
premium and commercial1 price segments and sold in 
more than 70 countries around the world. At the heart 
of the business is TWE’s global, multi-regional sourcing 
model which includes world-class vineyard and 
production assets in internationally acclaimed 
winemaking regions including the Barossa Valley in 
Australia, Napa Valley in the United States, Marlborough 
in New Zealand, Bordeaux in France, and Tuscany in Italy. 

TWE employs a global team of over 2,600 people.

TWE’S ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND 
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

In F21, TWE operated under four regional segments:

• Australia and New Zealand (ANZ);

• Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA);

• Asia;

• Americas.

Effective 1 July 2020: Tim Ford was appointed CEO;  
Tom King was appointed Managing Director Asia; and 
Kerrin Petty was appointed Director Global Supply Chain. 

At the end of F20, TWE undertook a detailed review  
of its global brand portfolio and an assessment  
of the optimal strategy and structure of the business. 
Key outcomes of this review included the accelerated 
reduction of the scale of the commercial wine business, 
and the implementation of a new operating model. 

1.  TWE participates in three price segments; Luxury (A$30+), Premium (A$10-A$30) and Commercial (A$5-A$10). Segment price points  

are retail shelf price.

Penfolds

CALIFORNIA COLLECTION UNVEILED

In March 2021, Penfolds unveiled the inaugural 
California Collection — a range of four wines more  
than 20 years in the making. The flagship wine,  
2018 Quantum Bin 98 Cabernet Sauvignon, was 
awarded 100 points by Somm Journal Magazine  
(US). To support the release, Penfolds partnered  
with Australian-born NBA All-Star Ben Simmons  
and produced a range of social and digital assets  
for American and Australian audiences.

8 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021

New operating model 

Commercial wine business reduction 

From F22, TWE will shift from a sales region-led business 
model to a brand portfolio led divisional model with 
three new standalone divisions: 

• Treasury Americas led by Ben Dollard;

• Penfolds led by Tom King;

• Treasury Premium Brands (TPB) led by Peter Neilson.

The rationale for the new operating model is to drive 
increased focus and accountability and support 
optimal long-term growth and value creation. 

Initiatives to reduce the scale of the commercial wine 
business were progressed in F21 and continue to 
remain on track for completion in F22. In March 2021, 
TWE announced an agreement in relation to the exit 
of several commercial tier brands from our US portfolio. 
These brands represent a significant portion of the US 
commercial portfolio and a significant step towards 
delivering a premium focused US wine business. 
Exploration of additional opportunities for brand, asset 
and lease portfolio rationalisation continue in the US.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

COVID-19 impact on business performance 

Managing business performance throughout the 
global pandemic has been a top priority. Our COVID-19 
Plan Ahead Agenda has supported the business well 
through this time of challenge and has helped to drive 
positive momentum.

Restrictions continued to impact TWE’s global 
operations, with key sales channels remaining in 
varied states of impact and recovery. During F21, retail 
and e-commerce continued to demonstrate strong 
performance, offset by varying levels of disruption 
to sales channels for higher margin luxury wine 
including on-premise, cellar doors, and travel retail. 

TWE remains confident that, as these channels 
re-open and consumption demand returns, it is 
very well placed to further the pace of its recovery.

Duty on Australian wine imports into China 

In August 2020, TWE was advised that the Chinese Ministry 
of Commerce (MOFCOM) had initiated an anti-dumping 
investigation into Australian wine exports into China. 
This was followed by the implementation of provisional 
measures commencing from 28 November 2020, where 
a deposit rate of 169.3% was applied to the imported 
value of TWE’s wine in containers of two litres or less. 

TWE announced that we expected demand for our 
portfolio in China to be extremely limited as a result 
of these measures and immediately implemented 
a detailed response plan to reduce the impact on 
earnings and maintain the long term diversification 
and strength of TWE’s business model and brands. 
These plans included driving incremental growth 
across priority global markets, China business model 
enhancements, and global operating model changes. 

A final determination was announced by MOFCOM in 
March 2021, with a combined anti-dumping and 
countervailing duty rate of 175.6% applied to TWE’s 
Australian country of origin wine in containers of two 
litres or less imported into China. The final determination 
applied from 28 March 2021 and will remain in place for 
at least five years. This determination did not result in 
any change to TWE’s previously articulated response 
plan, with benefits expected to progressively reach 
their full potential over a two to three year period.

TWE maintains our long-term commitment to China 
and the growing number of consumers who enjoy 
TWE’s brands. 

Other than the above changes and those matters 
referred to in the ‘TWE Vision and Strategy’ section of 
the Operating and Financial Review, and the Financial 
Statements in this Annual Report, there have been no 
other significant changes in the state of affairs of the 
Company during the financial year.

Squealing Pig

DRINKS INNOVATION 

Tapping into the popularity of gin, quirky label Squealing 
Pig pushed category boundaries with the launch of two 
‘Ginseccos’ – gin and prosecco spritzers – and a Pinot 
Noir Gin. These refreshing drinks innovations open doors 
to new consumers and occasions and help contribute 
to Squealing Pig’s consumer awareness, consideration 
and purchase intent, which have tripled since 2017.

TWE’S BUSINESS MODEL

principal activities:

Proactively taking steps to de-risk TWE’s global sourcing 
model by embedding flexibility and diversification 
across geographic regions, varietals and price 

segments continues to be a driver of the Company’s 
sourcing strategy.

By embedding a diversified sourcing model as well as 
focusing on multi-region and multi-country sourcing, 
TWE is better able to manage vintage variation as well 
as grape and bulk wine pricing through periods of 
grape shortages and surpluses.

This diversification and flexibility also enables TWE 
to react to changes in consumer and customer 
preferences to support growth.

TWE owns and leases 9,260 planted hectares of 
vineyards in Australia and New Zealand and is the 
custodian of some of the most sought after viticultural 
assets in renowned winemaking regions, including 
the Barossa Valley and Coonawarra in Australia, 
and Marlborough in New Zealand.

The Company also owns and leases 3,200 planted 
hectares in key viticultural regions in California, 
including the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Lake 
County, and Central Coast.

TWE continues to optimise our inventory holdings to 
support portfolio premiumisation and at the same 
time pursue initiatives to reduce production costs 
across the luxury, premium and commercial segments, 
globally. In F20, TWE commenced a global supply 
chain optimisation program, implementing a range 
of initiatives expected to deliver annualised benefits 
of at least $75 million by F233. 

At the same time, TWE continues to focus on securing 
increased access to luxury and premium fruit from 
multiple countries of origin via vineyard acquisitions, 
vineyard leasing, entering into supply contracts with 
third party growers as well as increasing our sourcing 
of commercial grade wine from the bulk wine market.

GLOBAL INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Global wine production and consumption

Global wine production in 2020 was in line with the 2019 
year and can be described as slightly below average. 
Production was again driven by the main European 
producing countries of Italy, France, and Spain. 

Figure 3: Global wine production and consumption5

Consumption decreased slightly when compared to 
2019 driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact 
on the hotel, restaurant, and catering industries. China 
saw the largest decline in consumption down 17% on 
2019, partially offset by increases in Italy up 8% and the 
UK up 2%.

Hot on the heels of Snoop Dogg and 19 Crimes’ first 
collaboration – Snoop Cali Red – came 19 Crimes 
Snoop Cali Rosé launching in the US. This is the first 
Californian Rosé for the brand using a blend of 
Grenache and Zinfandel. Snoop Cali Rosé breaks 
the rules of typical Rosé culture with a touch of 
Cali-behaviour and Snoop’s iconic West Coast 
Style. The easy-drinking wine encourages 
consumers to raise a glass and celebrate life’s 
greatest wins the way Snoop Dogg does, with 
no rules attached!

packs, new worldly varietals like Grenache and 
Malbec, and a new brand platform that reinforces 
the brand’s quality role in bringing great mates 
together. The ‘When Character Counts’ campaign 
launched in outdoor, digital, social, and radio. 
Overall, the relaunch has driven significant  
new sales momentum for the brand.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

FUTURE PROSPECTS 

TWE remains focused on leveraging its organisational, 
strategic and physical assets across the world to  
deliver quality growth. Our long-term financial growth 
objectives are centred around driving profitability, 
efficient capital usage, and the delivery of sustainable 
shareholder returns, as listed below.

•  Deliver sustainable top-line growth and high  

single-digit average earnings growth11.

•  Continue the premiumisation of sales mix. 

•  Expand EBITS margin to 25% and beyond.

•  Restore return on capital employed (ROCE)  

to pre-pandemic levels and then grow.

•  Maintain cash flow and capital metrics in line with  
an investment grade credit profile, including cash 
conversion of 90%+ (excluding the investment in 
non-current Luxury and Premium inventory) and net 
debt to EBITDAS to remain below 2.0x through the cycle.

Each division will contribute differently towards our 
long-term objectives, with their own financial targets. 

•  Penfolds will focus on growth in revenue to drive 
earnings growth, with an EBITS margin target  
of 40-45%. 

•  Treasury Americas will focus on improvement in  
mix to drive revenue growth along with cost and  
asset base optimisation to support higher earnings 
and improved return on capital, with an EBITS margin  
ambition of 25%. 

•  Treasury Premium Brands’ growth objectives are 

focused on premiumisation and cost and capital  
efficiency opportunities with a high-teens  
EBITS margin ambition.

Areas of near-term focus that may impact TWE’s  
future operational and financial prospects, excluding 

material business risks which are outlined in the next 
section, are listed below. 

•  Delivering continued momentum behind the premium 

portfolio, which has shown strong performance 
globally in F21. 

•  Successful execution of plans to deliver growth for 
Penfolds Bin and Icon ranges in markets outside of 
China, with continued recovery in key luxury channels an 
important enabler of future Penfolds portfolio growth.

•  The short-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic  
on trading conditions in TWE’s key markets remains 
uncertain, despite recent reopening in on-trade 
channels and improving trade through cellar doors. 
Retail and e-commerce channels continue to 
perform strongly, albeit with moderating rates of 
growth, while travel retail remains severely impacted. 
Continued reopening of key sales channels will be an 
important enabler of future luxury portfolio growth. 

•  Mix-adjusted cost of goods sold (COGS) per case is 
expected to remain elevated, with benefits from the 
lower cost 2021 Australian vintage (commercial 
portfolio) offset by the higher cost 2020 Australian 
vintage (premium portfolio), recent higher cost US 
luxury vintages and dyssynergies following the US 
commercial portfolio divestment. Successful 
execution of supply chain optimisation programs to 
improve COGS will have a modest benefit in F22, with 
full run rate benefits of at least $75 million expected 
from F23 and beyond.

•  Close monitoring of global demand trends and 

adjustment of Australian vintage 2022/23 intake,  
as required, through key initiatives including bringing 
forward vineyard re-development programs that  
will reduce our intake from our own asset base  
in the short term whilst positioning for growth again 
in the long-term and reviewing upcoming grower 
contract renewals.

11.   Organic, pre-material items and on a constant currency basis. Continuation of COVID-19 related disruptions to key sales channels for luxury  

wine may impact short-term performance. 

Yellowglen

TOASTS A MILESTONE BIRTHDAY 

Much-loved Australian sparkling wine, Yellowglen,

launch of its limited edition 50 year Celebration Brut 
Cuvée is befitting to mark occasions big and small.

MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS

There are various risks that could have a material impact on the achievement of TWE’s strategies and future 
prospects. Below are those risks that TWE considers of greatest materiality to the business, and existing mitigations 
against these risks. 

Our material risks have not fundamentally changed in F21, however, the risks listed below have elevated in focus. 

•  Protectionism and geopolitical uncertainty heightened further during F21, elevating the risk of operating  

in a changing geopolitical environment and of significant business disruption.

•  The unknown length or depth of the COVID-19 health and economic crisis, and the impact on social restrictions 

and the global economy, elevating the risk of changing consumer preferences and market trends. 

•  An increase in cyber threats with increasingly sophisticated and indiscriminate attacks on companies and 

organisations, elevating the risk of Information security and/or cyber-attacks.

Risk

Description

Mitigation

Climate

The impacts of climate change may 
lead to adverse effects on business 
operations and performance. A 
changing climate presents physical 
risks such as more frequent extreme 
weather events and changing 
temperatures. It could lead to 
restrictions on access to and/or an 
increase in the cost of water. The 
inability of third-party suppliers to 
adapt to and mitigate against climate 
change, could impact TWE’s ability  
to effectively source grapes and wine 
for production.

In addition, transition risks such as 
governmental actions to reduce 
the impacts of climate change, 
through emission reduction targets 
or cross-border carbon adjustment 
mechanisms may also impact TWE’s 
cost base. 

Misaligned 
supply and 
demand for 
region, 
variety and 
grade of 
grapes 

TWE’s ability to fulfil demand, in 
particular growing demand for luxury 
wine or specific varietals, can be 
restricted by the availability of grapes. 
Over time, changing consumer 
preferences affects demand for 
certain regional, varietal and/or grade 
of grapes, providing both potential 
opportunities for growth and potential 
price pressure on existing inventory/
committed supply. As a result, financial 
results could be affected, both in the 
year of harvest and in future periods. 

•  Maintain multi-region sourcing model to mitigate against 

over-reliance on a single region, continue to focus on 
premiumisation and secure alternative methods to source 
commercial fruit and bulk wine.

•  Invest in the Company’s adaptive capacity through 

innovative agronomic practices such as delayed pruning, 
improve canopy and vine architecture, installation of frost 
fans, and trialing non-traditional grape varietals (including 
drought resistant clones and root stocks), as well as 
embedding multi-regional growing and sourcing.

•  Invest to ensure resilience when building or  

upgrading facilities.

•  Climate Scenario Analysis to understand what future 

trends, opportunities and risks may emerge as a result  
of climate change and their potential financial and 
operational impacts on our business and its strategy.

•  Strategic climate change remediation investment plan 

and vineyard capital investment plan. 

•  Closely monitor weather patterns and climate impacts on 
vintage timing and compression and use that information 
to inform vintage planning processes. This includes 
technology partnerships to improve decision making  
in response to changes.

•  Encouraging key businesses in our value chain to capture, 

report and reduce their emissions. 

•  Multi-regional growing and sourcing.

•  Balanced grape intake between owned/leased vineyards 

and third-party suppliers. 

•  Long-term vintage planning and ongoing demand 

planning processes, to align our supply with our insights 
from monitoring changing consumer preferences.

•  Strong grower relationships and defined service  

level agreements.

•  Ongoing customer/distributor relationship management  

to understand changes in demand and achieve 
alignment with our current and future portfolio of products.

•  Strategic climate change remediation investment plan 

and vineyard capital investment plan. 

•  Innovative agronomic practices to improve vineyard yield.

•  Global wine allocation process for constrained products  
to maximise value from products where supply is unable  
to meet demand.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

Risk

Description

Mitigation

Loss of key 
leadership/
talent

Brand 
reputation/ 
damage

TWE’s ability to deliver on strategic 
targets is reliant on attracting and 
retaining experienced, skilled and 
motivated talent in core functions such 
as winemaking, sales and marketing. 

It also requires strong, resilient and 
effective leaders as the business  
grows at pace. 

Inability to retain key talent can impact 
relationships with TWE’s key partners, 
result in lost business knowledge, 
increase risk of employee burnout, and 
hamper the business’ ability to deliver 
on key initiatives.

The strength of TWE’s portfolio of 
brands is key to the success of the 
business. Managing the reputation  
of brands, and mitigating the potential 
damage to brands from internal 
and external activity, including 
counterfeited product, black market 
trade, inaccurate media coverage, 
unsatisfactory supplier performance, 
product quality issues, etc. is critical to 
TWE’s ongoing success. 

Failure to protect and effectively 
manage TWE’s portfolio of brands 
could have significant reputational 
and financial repercussions.

Partner 
performance 
and market 
concentration

TWE relies on a number of key 
partners (suppliers, distributors and 
retailers) to support the delivery of key 
strategic initiatives. The suboptimal 
performance of these partners, and/or 
their market concentration and power, 
could have a significant impact on 
TWE’s ability to deliver these initiatives.

•  Strategically aligned and targeted learning and 

development programs.

•  Strategic workforce planning. 

•  Talent review and succession planning processes.

•  Employee safety (including health, wellbeing, and 

resilience) program.

•  Incentive and reward programs for team members, 

aligned to the achievement of TWE’s financial and business 
goals and demonstration of the right behaviours.

•  Market competitive remuneration and benefits.

•  Brand portfolio and product strategy, including portfolio 
rationalisation, prioritisation and targeted investment in 
consumer marketing.

•  Consumer insights and innovation team supporting  
the monitoring and awareness of brand health and 
consumer trends.

•  Product pricing strategy and global pricing alignment.

•  Code of Conduct, Responsible Marketing Guidelines, 
Responsible Consumption program, Responsible 
Procurement Code, Environment Policy and Standard, 
Media Policy, Social Media Policy and incident 
management procedures. 

• Sustainability program.

•  Global media monitoring (including social/digital media).

•  Brand and intellectual property protection strategies.

•  Multi-regional and diversified supplier, distributor and 

retailer base.

•  Responsible Procurement Code (RPC) to define our broader 

requirements of our suppliers, including expectations 
related to Human Rights, Safety, and the Environment. 

•  Defined and pre-approved terms of engagement.

•  Investment in strong and multifaceted key partner 

relationships.

•  Joint business planning processes with customers  
and distributors to support and align their interests  
with our objectives.

•  Regular performance reviews.

Changing 
laws & 
regulations

TWE operates in a highly regulated 
industry in many of the markets in 
which it makes and sells wine. Each 
of these markets have differing 
regulations that govern many aspects 
of TWE’s operations, including taxation, 
production, manufacturing, pricing, 
marketing, advertising, distribution  
and sale of wine. 

Remaining compliant with and  
abreast of additional regulations 
and changes to existing regulations 
requires diligent and ongoing 
monitoring by the business.

•  Company-wide policies, standards and procedures.

•  TWE Compliance Framework. 

•  Specialised and experienced resources and teams.

Instability in the markets in which 
we operate could impact consumer 
demand, ability to trade, access to 
new markets, disruption to global 
supply chains and other barriers to 
the movement of people and goods 
across international borders. 

There is heightened geopolitical 
tension as countries seek to balance 
national security, global leadership 
and cooperation and competition, 
nationalisation and economic 
recovery. The uncertain ongoing 
impacts of COVID-19, including 
sustained lockdowns, social and 
travel restrictions, could add to the 
geopolitical tensions.

TWE’s scope of operations exposes  
us to a number of business disruption 
risks, such as environmental 
catastrophes, natural and man-made 
hazards and incidents, or politically 
motivated violence.

Significant business disruption could 
result in TWE sites or employees 
being harmed or threatened, loss of 
key infrastructure, inability to trade, 
inventory shortages, excess or loss, 
customer dissatisfaction, or financial 
and reputational loss.

TWE is exposed to foreign exchange risk 
from several sources, namely from the 
export of Australian produced wine to 
key offshore markets in North America 
and Europe. Foreign exchange rate 
movements impact TWE’s earnings on 
a transactional and translational basis.

Data/information security is essential 
to protect business critical intellectual 
property and privacy of data. 
Continuing advances in technology, 
systems and communication channels 
mean increasing amounts of private 
and confidential data are now stored 
electronically. This, together with 
increasing cyber-crime, heightens the 
need for robust data security measures.

•  Continue to grow our diversified portfolio of products  

and markets including Australia, US, Europe, Middle East, 
and Asia.

•  We respect local laws wherever we operate and have 
implemented robust trade compliance procedures  
and controls.

•  Relationships and engagement (where relevant) with key 
government, industry advocacy and regulatory bodies.

•  Flexible supply chain practices.

•  Crisis Management and Business Continuity plans.

•  Seek opportunities for strategic investment from, and into 
key markets to capture new growth opportunities and 
enhance connection to key markets.

Infrastructure 
supporting 
growth

Changing 
consumer 
preferences 
and market 
trends

The business relies on IT infrastructure, 
systems and processes to support 
ongoing business growth. Where 
such infrastructure cannot efficiently 
support the changing needs of the 
business, there is risk of process 
inefficiency and/or error, which 
includes increased costs and 
processing times or damage to 
business reputation.

The business’s ability to effectively 
manage current and non-current 
inventory is intrinsically linked to actual 
and forecast consumer demand – 
particularly given the long product 
lead-time and agricultural nature  
of the business. 

Unanticipated changes in consumer 
demand or preferences can have 
adverse effects on the business’s 
ability to either capture growth 
opportunities or manage supply.

•  Defined and Executive Leadership Team approved  

IT roadmap and strategy.

•  A global Enterprise Resource Planning system and 

reporting capability.

•  IT policies and supporting procedures (security, change 

management, project management, etc.).

•  Documentation and mapping of key processes and 

controls across the business.

•  Semi-annual key control self-assessment process.

•  Implementation of a new divisional operating model  

to enable a separate focus across our brand portfolios,  
so we’re better positioned to anticipate and respond  
to changing consumer preferences and customer  
market trends. 

•  Dedicated consumer insights and innovation team, 
tracking consumer trends and researching new 
opportunities.

•  Brand portfolio and product strategy, including portfolio 
rationalisation, prioritisation and targeted investment  
in consumer marketing.

•  Global business planning processes, including portfolio 

reviews and global volume alignment processes.

•  Strategic focus on premium (high demand) categories.

PROFIT REPORT

Key Highlights 

Business headlines

•  In F21, TWE demonstrated strong execution and 

organisational resilience during a year of significant 
disruption, including ongoing impacts from the 
global pandemic, the Californian wildfires and the 
introduction of import duties on Australian wine  
in Mainland China.

•  Top-line growth in Asian markets outside of Mainland 
China, the Americas, ANZ and EMEA reflects positive 
momentum across TWE’s globally diversified 
business; organic12 NSR grew 4.4% in F21.

•  TWE continues its premiumisation journey, with NSR 
per case up in each region and the contribution  
of the Luxury and Premium portfolios increasing  
to 77% of global NSR (up from 71% in F20).

•  Consumer and experience led portfolio expansion 
was a highlight in F21, with brand innovations such  
as Penfolds California Collection and 19 Crimes Cali 
Red and Rose varietals enjoying outstanding success. 

•  TWE’s business in the United States has been 

fundamentally changed and is now well placed for 
sustainable long-term success, with the divestment 
of a significant portion of the Commercial portfolio in 
March 2021 and route to market changes, particularly 
in California and Texas, important milestones. TWE  
is continuing to progress initiatives focused on the 
divestment and exit of other non-priority brands, 
operating assets and leases, and these remain  
on track for completion by end 1H22. 

•  TWE is progressing with its plans to drive incremental 
growth for the Penfolds Bin and Icon portfolio, with 
global NSR growing 7% in F21, supported by accelerated 
investment in sales and marketing capability to  
build demand and drive distribution and availability 
across key growth markets. The release of the 
Californian Collection, Penfolds first multi-COO 
release, was a significant brand highlight in F21.

•  TWE has made significant progress on its global 

supply chain optimisation program, and now expects 
to achieve annualised benefits of at least $75 million 
by F2313.

•  Effective 1 July 2021, TWE transitioned to a new 

operating model under three brand-led portfolio 
divisions – Penfolds, Treasury Premium Brands and 
Treasury Americas. TWE expects this model will 
maximise the long-term benefits of separate focus 
across its diverse brand portfolios and leverage the 
scale of TWE’s global business model.

implementation of import duties and higher COGS 
on Australian sourced wine.

•  NPAT and EPS (before material items and SGARA)

•  TWE has to date confirmed cash proceeds totalling 
approximately $150 million as a result of the asset 
divestments in the US, and continues to expect net 
cash inflows under the restructuring program  
to total approximately $300 million.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

Dividend

•  Final dividend 13.0 cents per share (up 62.5% on  

the F20 final dividend), fully franked, representing  
a pay-out ratio of 65% 17.

Outlook

•  TWE’s financial objective is to deliver sustainable 
top-line growth and high-single digit average 
earnings growth over the long-term18.

•   In F22, TWE is positive on its outlook across key 

markets outside of Mainland China, with its focus  
to be on continuing the strong momentum in its 
Premium portfolio in addition to executing plans  
to drive continued growth for Penfolds Bin and Icon 
ranges, with encouraging performance having been 
delivered in F21, and particularly 4Q21. COGS per case 
are expected to remain elevated, with benefits from 
the lower cost 2021 Australian vintage (commercial 

Profit and Loss 

portfolio) offset by the higher cost 2020 Australian 
vintage (premium portfolio), recent higher cost US 
Luxury vintages and dis-synergies following the US 
commercial portfolio divestment. 

•  TWE will continue to closely monitor global demand 

trends and will adjust intake for the upcoming 
Australian vintages in 2022 and 2023, as required.  
Key initiatives include bringing forward vineyard 
redevelopment programs that will reduce intake 
from its own asset base in the short term while 
positioning for growth again in the long-term,  
in addition to reviewing upcoming grower  
contract renewals.

•  TWE expects Net Debt to EBITDAS to remain below  

its up to 2.0x target throughout F22.

24 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021

 
 
 
Revenue

Tax expense

•  NSR increased 1.3% (4.4% on an organic basis) driven 
by strong execution and continued premiumisation 
momentum across all regions. Partly offsetting were 
the continuation of global pandemic disruptions  
to key sales channels for Luxury wine, the significant 
decline in shipments to Mainland China as a result 
of implementation of import duties and the divestment  
of US Commercial brands in March 2021.

• NSR per case grew in all regions and increased 7.0% at 

a Group level, led by the Premium portfolio, while 
disruptions to key channels for Luxury wine continued 
to impact volumes. In F21, the Luxury and Premium 
portfolios combined contributed 77% of TWE’s global 
NSR (up from 71% in F20).

•  Increase in tax expense reflects higher earnings in 

F21, with the effective tax rate of 29.1% consistent with 
the prior year.

Material Items

•  A post-tax net material items loss of $66.1 million has 
been recognised in F21 and relates to the divestment  
of US brands and assets, the South Australian Luxury 
winery expansion and the overhead and supply  
chain restructure. 

Net profit after tax (NPAT)

•  NPAT before material items and SGARA $309.6 million, 

up 6.4%, driven by lower net finance costs and  
tax expense. 

•  F21 other revenue includes insurance proceeds 

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

relating to the California wildfires.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

•  COGS per case increased 10.6% due to the portfolio 

mix shift, higher COGS on Australian sourced 
Commercial and Premium wine, the impact  
of inventory damaged by the Californian wildfires 
and one-off costs relating to the implementation  
of import duties in Mainland China and Brexit.

Cost of Doing Business (CODB)

•  CODB improved 8.7% and CODB margin improved 

2.2ppts to 20.0%, driven by:

 – The new US sales and marketing model and 

•  EPS (before SGARA and material items) increased  

6.2% to 42.9 cents per share. Reported EPS increased

 – In Mainland China, lower overheads under the

Corporate costs 

•  Corporate costs increased 16.6% to $52.7 million, 

reflecting higher discretionary employee  
incentives in F21. 

EBITS 

•  EBITS $510.3 million in line with the prior year on a 

reported basis and up 2.8% on a constant currency 
basis; on an organic basis, EBITS increased 3.5%.

•  EBITS margin increased 0.3ppts to 19.9%; TWE 
continues to target delivery of 25% Group  
EBITS margin.

SGARA 

•  SGARA gain of $9.4 million reflects gains from the 

high yielding 2021 Australian vintage and the 
unwinding of prior period losses, partly offset by the 
impact of a significant reduction in tonnage and 
yield from the 2020 Californian vintage which resulted 
in a loss of $24.0 million.

Net finance costs

•  Net finance costs were 8.8% favourable in F21, driven 
by lower average net borrowings and the benefit  
of lower average interest rates.

19.  Unless otherwise stated, balance sheet percentage or dollar movements from the previous period are on a reported currency basis.

Agricultural assets represent the fair value of unharvested 
grapes prior to the 2021 Northern hemisphere vintages.

Intangibles

Intangible assets decreased by $138.6 million to

Movement in net debt
Net debt22 declined $376.5 million to $1,057.7 million,  
with drivers of the movement including: 

EBITDAS

EBITDAS declined $14.9 million to $661.0 million on a 
reported currency basis, driven by foreign currency 
movements and lower depreciation expense following 
the divestment and transfer to held for sale of US 
assets as part of key restructuring initiatives.

Movement in working capital23 
Net working capital outflow of $60.3 million is driven  
by the high-yielding 2021 Australian vintage and  
higher receivables, which include insurance claims 
associated with the Californian wildfires.

Net lease liability additions 

Additions of $18.7 million primarily reflects new leases  
of supply assets in Australia and California. 

Exchange rate impact

Higher period-end exchange rates used to revalue 
foreign currency borrowings and cash as at 30 June 
2021 decreased net debt by $140.7 million.

Cash conversion

Cash conversion of 100.8% reflects continued strong 
operating cash flow performance, a lower Californian 
vintage intake and an adjusted Australian vintage 
intake, in addition to the shift in regional sales mix in 
Asia. Excluding the net change in non-current Luxury 
and Premium inventory, cash conversion was 96.9%. 

21.  Unless otherwise stated, cash flow percentage or dollar movements from the previous period are on a reported currency basis. 
22. Net debt excludes fair value adjustments related to derivatives that are in a fair value hedge relationship on a portion of US Private  

Placement Notes: F21 +$21.6 million, F20 +$41.7 million.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

ASIAN REGIONAL PERSPECTIVES

•  Volume and NSR declined 30.7% and 8.1% respectively:

•  Wine consumption declined across Asia in 2020 as  

 – shipments to Mainland China were significantly 
reduced following the implementation of import 
duties; and

 – throughout the rest of Asia, NSR rose 21.5% despite 
ongoing pandemic restrictions to key Luxury sales 
channels, driven by strengthening demand for TWE’s 
brand portfolio including Penfolds Bin and Icon.

•  NSR per case increased 32.6%, reflecting improved 
mix as the contribution of the Luxury and Premium 
portfolios increased to 94% of Asia region NSR  
(an improvement of 5ppts).

•  COGS per case increased 50.1% as a result of 

improved portfolio mix and one-off costs including 
additional freight (demurrage) costs on clearance 
delays through Chinese ports. 

•  CODB improved 11.3%, driven by the alignment  
of brand investment in Mainland China (net  
of reinvestment to other regional markets) and 
reduced overheads under the future state  
business model.

•  In Mainland China, 2H21 EBITS totalled $5.3 million, 
including sales of TWE’s multi-COO portfolio (F21 
Mainland China EBITS $84.1 million, a $77.3 million 
decline on F20).

•  Regional EBITS declined 17.2% to $205.4 million and 
EBITS margin declined 4.1ppts to 36.3%; excluding 
one-off costs relating to China, regional EBITS margin 
was in line with the high 30% margin target.

a result of pandemic related disruptions to key sales 
channels and consumption occasions24. Across  
large parts of the region, significant disruptions  
and impacts continue. 

•  Over the long-term, the fundamentals of the wine 

category remain positive in Asia, with consumption 
of Premium and Luxury wine expected to return  
to growth.

•  The growth of the Penfolds Bin and Icon range is 

accelerating in key regional markets (including Hong 
Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand), satisfying 
previously unmet demand and reflecting the initial 
benefits of investment in sales and marketing 
capability. In F21, NSR ex-Mainland China grew  
38% and TWE is targeting continued growth of the 
Penfolds Bin and Icon range in these markets in F22 
and beyond.

•  In Mainland China, TWE will continue to invest in  

the portfolio as it progresses its multi-COO portfolio 
growth strategy, with 2H21 highlights including the 
launch of the Penfolds Californian Collection and  
the release of Rawson’s Retreat sourced from  
South Africa. 

•  Ongoing strong consumer demand for the Australian 
sourced Penfolds Bin and Icon continues, and TWE  
is planning to sell through these products at higher, 
tariff inclusive retail prices, through F22. TWE continues 
to expect minimal EBITS contribution in Mainland 
China, net of brand building investment, in F22.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE 

AMERICAS REGIONAL PERSPECTIVES

•  Volume declined 8.7% while NSR increased  

•  Strong premiumisation trends have continued  

1.9%, reflecting:

 – the divestiture of a significant portion of the US 

Commercial brand portfolio in March 2021; 

 – strong momentum in the retail and e-commerce 
channel, which supported growth in the Premium 
portfolio; and

 – on an organic basis, shipments and NSR increased 

9.5% and 11.3% respectively. 

•  In the US, shipments were in line with depletions, and 
excluding new product launches, 3% below depletions.

•  NSR per case increased 11.6%, reflecting the impact  

to portfolio mix with the Luxury and Premium 
portfolios now contributing 80% of regional NSR  
(an improvement of 9ppts).

•  COGS per case increased 6.7% as a result of mix shift, 
higher costs on US sourced Luxury and Commercial 
wine and the impact of inventory damaged by the 
Californian wildfires (the cost of this impact was 
recovered through insurance and disclosed as  
Other Revenue26).

•  CODB improved 13.5% driven by the new sales  

and marketing organisational structure that was 
implemented in 4Q20. 

•  Regional EBITS increased 54.1% to $168.3 million on a 
reported basis and EBITS margin increased 5.7ppts  
to 17.0%; on an organic basis, EBITS increased 65.6%.

in the US market, with the $11+ price points growing 
12% in F2127.

•  TWE’s focus brand portfolio is continuing its strong 
momentum, growing 23% in F21 and outperforming 
the category, led by 19 Crimes, Penfolds, Beringer 
Brothers, Matua and St Huberts the Stag27. 

•  The Americas delivered outstanding innovation 
success with 19 Crimes Cali Red becoming the 
number one growth brand in the category27  
and 19 Crimes Cali Rose resonating strongly with 
consumers after launching in March. In addition,  
the launch of the inaugural Penfolds Californian 
collection was met with an outstanding response 
from critics, customers and consumers.

•  In 4Q21, TWE saw modest recovery in on-premise, 
which has largely reopened, but activity remains 
below pre-pandemic levels due in part to reduced 
outlets and constraints on staff availability. Cellar 
doors have also reopened, with improved 
momentum in the lead up to the key summer period.

•  Transition of distribution arrangements to RNDC in 

California, Texas and several surrounding states has 
commenced, with minimal disruptions. TWE expects 
this partnership to support continued growth across 
its Premium and Luxury portfolios.

•  TWE continues to progress optimisation of its US 

asset base to ensure Treasury Americas is positioned 
for sustainable long-term success. Reducing supply 
chain dis-synergies following the Commercial 
portfolio divestment is a key priority in F22.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

ANZ REGIONAL PERSPECTIVES

•  Volume declined 7.8% and NSR increased 1.8%,  

•  TWE expects Australian wine market volume  

driven by: 

 –  increased contribution from the Luxury and 

Premium portfolios, driven by TWE’s focus brands;

 –  price uplift and optimised investment across select 

Premium portfolio brands; and

 –  reduced contribution of Commercial  

portfolio volumes.

•  NSR per case increased 10.3% driven by improved  
mix with the Luxury and Premium portfolios now 
contributing 78% of regional NSR, up 3ppts in F21. 

•  COGS per case increased 14.1%, reflecting portfolio 

premiumisation, higher cost vintages for Australian 
sourced wine and incremental costs associated  
with finished goods that had been intended for sale 
in Mainland China.

•  CODB improved 8.9% driven by lower overheads and 
reduced A&P during the pandemic impacted period. 
These amounts are expected to normalise in F22.

•  Regional EBITS increased 3.1% to $142.7 million and 

EBITS margin improved 0.3ppts to 23.7%.

and value growth to be driven by the Luxury and 
Premium price points, a trend which has continued 
strongly through the pandemic for trusted and 
well-known brands.

•  While there has been progressive re-opening of 

on-premise venues in Australia through F21, key sales 
channels for higher margin Luxury wine, including 
travel retail and cellar doors, remain subdued due  
to ongoing government restrictions on gatherings 
and mobility.

•  In the retail channel, market growth continues to be 
driven by above $10 price points, with the Premium 
price segment the biggest contributor to category 
growth in F21. TWE’s focus brand portfolio continues  
to perform strongly, led by Pepperjack, St Huberts  
the Stag, Wynns, 19 Crimes and Squealing Pig28.

•  Penfolds Bin and Icon delivered strong gains in ANZ 
through F21, with NSR up 15%, setting a solid platform 
for future growth.

•  Innovation remains a key source of growth for TWE, 

with a highlight in F21 being the successful extension 
of Pepperjack into new emerging varietals to 
become a leader in the growing malbec and 
grenache categories in Australia29.

•  Retail market conditions remained favourable post 

the 2021 vintage despite the loss of Mainland China as 
an export market, with strong domestic consumption 
and export demand continuing. Australian retail 
pricing trends have remained constant.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

VINTAGE UPDATE

Australia 
The 2021 Australian vintage was 31% higher30 than the 
2020 vintage after a season characterised by excellent 
growing conditions. TWE benefited from a more even 
intake over an extended period of time fully utilising the 
winery network and resulting in good grade conversion 
for key varietals. A highlight was the quality of the 
Cabernet Sauvignon from the Limestone Coast for key 
brands. Proactive adjustments were made to intake 
volumes in response to revised demand expectations 
for Mainland China. 

California

The 2021 California growing season has been 
influenced by persistent drought conditions. There was 
minimal frost experienced early in the growing season 
and fruit set conditions were generally favourable 
across the state. However, the drought conditions and 
above average temperatures are expected to impact 
berry sizing and overall yield. Quality is expected to  
be sound based on the season thus far, particularly  
in regions with sufficient water. 

New Zealand
The 2021 New Zealand vintage was 19% smaller30 than 
2020 due to cooler spring weather and late frosts with 
central regions including Marlborough impacted the 
most. Despite the smaller volumes, overall quality was 
high with Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc a highlight in 
2021, with strong aromatics, generosity on the palate 
and excellent acid structure. The reduced Sauvignon 
Blanc production is expected to lead to some 
undersupply of the varietal as strong global demand 
continues, however TWE is comfortable with its supply 
position compared to expectations for demand in F22.

France 

France has experienced a very challenging growing 
season so far with frost, hail-storms and a wet 
beginning to summer in some regions. Bordeaux and 
Provence are the most unaffected vineyards. Cabernet 
Sauvignon has been less impacted by the frost and 
had a good fruit set rate in the Bordeaux area. Harvest 
is forecast to occur at the end of September as per 
average. TWE vineyards are looking healthy and quality 
is forecast to be good, pending growing conditions 
through summer.

Sustainability 

TWE is cultivating a brighter future and creating long-term value  
by embedding sustainability into our business. 

As the custodian of some of the world’s leading premium wines,  
we recognise the leadership role we play in shaping a positive  
future for everyone who touches our business and products. 

This means being responsible in how we source and produce our wine,  
and prioritising the wellbeing of our people, communities, and consumers. 

OUR APPROACH

During the financial year, TWE launched its enhanced sustainability strategy and an expanded suite of targets  
that respond to the topics that matter most to us and our stakeholders.

Our approach to sustainability is embedded in our Ambition and Game Plan and is driven by our TWE DNA. It reflects 
a commitment to innovation and partnership as well as a commitment to sustainability leadership not just across 
the global wine sector, but looking to those leading the beverages sector more broadly.

This bold ambition recognises that we need to take a more integrated approach to sustainability with a strong 
focus on long-term value creation and leading collective action in a way that helps us effectively manage risks 
and make the most of new and emerging opportunities. We are also investing to ensure our data and systems 
support this ambition.

Our sustainability strategy and programs are informed by relevant best practice initiatives and guidance  
including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the United Nations (UN) Global Compact and the UN  
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

36 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021

 
 
 
Our sustainability agenda has three focus areas:

BUILDING A RESILIENT BUSINESS

We want to ensure our business  
is resilient in the face of increasing 
uncertainty, complexity, and change.

FOSTERING HEALTHY  
AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES

We want to foster safe, sociable, and 
connected communities where our 
brands are promoted, and our wine 
consumed, safely and responsibly.

PRODUCING SUSTAINABLE WINE

We want every consumer to 
experience wine that is sustainably 
grown, made, and packaged.

Transitional risks and opportunities arise from political, 
legal, technological, and market responses to the 
challenges posed by climate change and the 
transition to a lower carbon economy. We continue  
to monitor and understand emerging trends and 
changing customer/consumer preferences.

We have begun to align our reporting with the 
recommendations of the TCFD and in F20 we began  
a two-year Climate Scenario Analysis to help us 
understand what future trends, opportunities and risks 
may emerge as a result of climate change and their 
potential financial and operational impacts on our 
business and its strategy. 

For each of our key growing regions, we used a high 
and low emissions scenario and identified a series  
of hypotheses related to water availability, long-term 
temperature and climate extremes that were modelled 
over various time horizons (2030, 2050 and 2070). Early 
in F22 we have begun to examine what these scenarios 
mean for our business at some specific sites in order  
to better understand our resilience and vulnerabilities 
and assist in guiding the range of our opportunity, risk 
mitigation, and adaptation responses. This work will 
continue throughout F22. 

GOVERNANCE AND REPORTING

The Sustainability Leadership Group (formerly known  
as the Global CR Council) is the governing body  
with oversight of our sustainability approach and 
performance. The cross-functional group comprises 
members from the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) 
and senior representatives from functional areas of the 
business and across our key geographies of operation.

TWE’s governance structure ensures that the Board 
oversees TWE’s approach and management of 
Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) matters  
and receives updates on sustainability and the status 
of key priorities. 

TWE’s reporting on ESG topics is captured in the 
Company’s annual Sustainability Report, which 
provides updates on progress and performance.  
The Board has oversight of our key ESG disclosures, 
including the Sustainability Report. The report will  
be released later in 2021.

TASKFORCE ON CLIMATE-RELATED FINANCIAL 
DISCLOSURES (TCFD) 

TWE understands that as a global viticultural business, 
we will be exposed to both physical and transitional 
climate risks.

For TWE, the critical impacts of climate change are 
more frequent extreme weather events and the 
long-term risks resulting from climate pattern changes 
such as changes in temperature patterns as well as 
access to water.

Lindeman’s

STEPS INTO THE SUNSHINE

To celebrate Lindeman’s achieving its carbon 
neutral status in Europe, the brand stepped into 
summer with a new integrated marketing 
campaign, ‘Step into The Sunshine’. 

Part of this campaign included a ‘Buy one, plant 
one tree’ in-store activation; for each bottle of 
Lindeman’s sold, the brand pledges to plant a tree. 
The aim is for Lindeman’s to plant an additional 
370,000 trees.

Diversity and inclusion

TWE is committed to upholding the International Bill of Human Rights, 
the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business, and Human Rights 
and Modern Slavery Acts. Our inclusion and diversity strategy is 
underpinned by this commitment. At TWE we believe our strength 
comes from our vast and varied backgrounds, ideas, cultures, 
ethnicities, talents, genders, and voices: the things some see as 
different, and that we see as critical to our success.

We are committed to creating an inclusive, supportive 
and collaborative culture to attract and retain the  
best possible talent, and to creating environments 
where people from diverse backgrounds can fulfil  
their potential.

The Board has committed to reviewing and assessing 
progress against TWE’s diversity and inclusion 
objectives. To that end, the Company is pleased to 
report progress made in F21, together with the F22 
measurable objectives.

The Company’s Diversity and Inclusion policy can be 
found on the Company’s website: www tweglobal.com

F21 DIVERSITY TARGET AND OBJECTIVES

Recommendation 1.5 of the ASX Corporate Governance 
Principles and Recommendations states that a 
company’s board or board committee is to set the 
measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity. 
The diversity targets set by the Board for F21 were to:

1.  increase female representation in leadership roles  

to 50% by 2025; and 

2. increase female representation across the total TWE 

workforce to 42% by 2025.

The following diversity objectives were set by the Board 
for F21. 

1.  Diverse workforce: strong workforce representation 

so we can leverage talent as a competitive 
advantage, creating value for our customers  
and community.

2. Inclusive workplace: create a differentiated inclusive 
culture where diverse and resilient talent can thrive 
during ‘moments that matter’ to deliver business 
outcomes that matter.

3. Employer of Choice: strong employer brand, 

Employee Value Proposition, and improved business 
outcomes that demonstrate return on investment  
in human capital. 

The CEO and all ELT members had a Diversity and 
Inclusion Key Performance Objective (KPO) to deliver 
the above objectives in F21.

40 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021

F21 PROGRESS ON DIVERSITY TARGETS 

As at 30 June 2021, TWE reached:

•  45.1% females in leadership roles compared to the 
target of 50% by 2025 (up from 41.2% in F20); and

•  40.2% females in all roles compared to the target  

of 42% by 2025 (up from 39.1% in F20).

F21 PROGRESS ON F21 DIVERSITY OBJECTIVES

The following highlights demonstrate progress made 
against the F21 diversity and inclusion objectives. 

Diverse workforce

•  To invest in the capability of high potential female 

employees and build the female succession pipeline 
for leadership roles, we launched the ‘Empower Me’  
talent program, including an initial intake of 25 females. 
30% of program participants were promoted during 
the course of the program.

•  As part of working towards global alignment and 

embedding our TWE DNA, we reviewed our support  
to employees, resulting in the development of  
‘Find Your Flex’, Family and Domestic Violence, and 
Gender Affirmation policies. We also made significant 
enhancements to the ANZ Parental Leave Policy, 
including broadening eligibility criteria, lengthening 
the period of paid leave, and the application  
of superannuation contributions to a portion  
of unpaid leave. 

•  To provide further support to parents and carers,  

we established a global partnership with Circle In,  
a personalised employee benefits platform that 
helps our employees navigate the challenge of 
working and caring for others.

•  We further refined our approach to building gender 

balance by expanding the global TWEforSHE 
ambassador network to include male ambassadors 
and reviewed gender pay equity to identify any pay 
gaps in like-for-like roles. 

•  The Mary Penfold Award forms part of our commitment 
to achieve gender equality at TWE by recognising 
and celebrating outstanding women who have 
made an exceptional impact in our business. The 
winner of the 2021 annual award, Sharon Brown  
(Customer Service Team Leader EMEA) stood out  
as someone who demonstrated the leadership 
qualities embodied by Mary Penfold in her time.

Inclusive workplace 

•  To better understand the employee experience  

at TWE and identify areas for focus, we conducted 
our first global inclusion survey as well as an all 
employee survey. Our people told us they feel a 
strong sense of belonging and connection to TWE 
and understand how they contribute to our broader 
purpose. We also heard there is an opportunity  
for us to improve how we make decisions, including 
providing context for those decisions and considering 
the perspectives of our diverse team in the process, 
as well as making sure internal career opportunities 
are visible and we support our employees to undertake 
learning and development.

•  Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) create a 

greater sense of inclusion, belonging and provide 
support to employees who may be underrepresented 
at TWE. As such we were pleased to support the 
establishment of a number of new ERGs including:

 – TWE Enable (Global) – improving accessibility  

for all and raising awareness around visible and 
invisible disability;

 – TWE Mosaic (ANZ) – celebrating and raising 

awareness around cultural diversity;

 – The Guardians (AME) – providing support and 

resources to parents and caregivers;

 – La Raza (AME) – supporting members of the Latinx/
Hispanicx community to develop further and bring 
their whole selves to work;

 – Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPI) (AME) – 
supporting members of the AAPI community  
to develop further and access support for  
their wellbeing.

•  We also held companywide events to raise 

awareness of important inclusion and diversity 
issues, including: International Human Rights 
Campaign; 16 days of Activism against Gender 
Based Violence; Indigenous Education sessions; 
International Women’s Day; Taste of Harmony;  
and Pride Month.

Employer of Choice 

•  We were invited to speak at, host and participate in  

numerous industry events, including: Women in Wine; 
The Colours of the Vine; D&I in Grocery; Out in the 
Vineyards; and I&D Drinks Association. 

•  We were recognised as runner up in the 2021 

Australian Financial Review BOSS Best Places to  
Work (Manufacturing and Consumer Goods sector). 
The assessment showed particular strengths  
in Purpose, Flexibility, Wellbeing and Equality.

•  In support of Diversity Council Australia’s 

#IStandForRespect campaign, our CEO Tim Ford 
signed a pledge to (i) stand against gendered 
harassment and violence in all its forms and (ii) 
commit to taking steps to address sexual and 
sex-based harassment, to make the workplace  
safe for everyone. 

The ELT continued to operate as the Diversity Council in 
F21 with a focus on leadership, setting appropriate goals 
and targets, monitoring progress and driving action.

F22 OBJECTIVES AND INITIATIVES

During F21, we reviewed and revised our strategy to 
create an Inclusion, Equity and Diversity (IE&D) strategy 
focused on the three key pillars below.

1.  Leaders who model our DNA: leaders who 

steadfastly role-model and lead inclusion and have 
a true understanding of employee experience and 
culture, enabled by world-class leadership and 
development programs.

2. Engaged employees, consumers and communities: 

employees who bring their whole selves to work; 
consumers who recognise our commitment to 
inclusion and diversity through our brands; and 
partnerships with purpose-aligned communities and 
suppliers.

3. Employer of choice: industry leading policies and 

work processes to maximise inclusion and minimise 
bias; innovation optimised through team contribution 
and data informed plans and allocation of resources.

The strategy continues to be underpinned by our 
commitment to upholding the International Bill of 
Human Rights, the United Nations Guiding Principles on 
Business, and Human Rights and Modern Slavery Acts.

The ELT is committed to continuing TWE’s Diversity 
Council, with accountability for setting the strategy  
and defining and managing TWE’s diversity and 
inclusion goals and objectives. 

The Company continues to strive towards the  
following targets:

•  increase female representation in leadership roles  

to 50% by 2025; 

•  increase female representation across the total  

TWE workforce to 42% by 2025; and 

•  continuing to foster an inclusive and equitable culture.

The following high priority initiatives are planned  
to build on the Company’s achievements in F21.

•  Defining inclusive leadership expectations and 

investment in inclusive capabilities.

•  ELT and Senior Leaders expected to role model and 
promote inclusive behaviours that will be included  
in 360 degree feedback and performance reviews.

•  Reverse mentoring for ELT and selected Senior 

Leaders, enabling enhanced IE&D understanding 
and leadership.

•  IE&D manifesto developed and launched.

•  Specific people processes reviewed and improved  

to minimise bias and maximise inclusion.

The CEO and all ELT members have a Leadership, 
Inclusion, Equity and Diversity KPO to deliver the above 
objectives in F22.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Members of the Board

The Board continues to comprise a majority of 
independent directors with all directors, other than  
the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), being independent 
non-executive directors. 

The Board is committed to ensuring it is comprised  
of individuals with appropriate skills, experience and 
diversity to develop and support the Company’s 
ambition to be the world’s most admired premium 
wine company, having regard to the five pillars of its 
Game Plan. The Board utilises a skills matrix to assist in 
assessing the mix of skills, experience and diversity on 
the Board, and to identify areas of focus to supplement 
the mix of skills and experience as part of Board 
succession planning. Each director annually rates their 
skills, expertise and experience from 1 to 3 for each 
competency identified in the Board skills matrix  
(1 = working knowledge, 2 = good understanding, 
and 3 = expert). The self-assessment ratings are 
subsequently calibrated and included in the Board 
skills matrix.

The Board considers that its members collectively 
possess the appropriate competencies and  
attributes that enable the Board to discharge  
its responsibilities effectively, contribute to the 
Company’s strategic direction and oversee the  
delivery of its corporate objectives.

TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 – 47

ROLE OF THE BOARD

The responsibilities of the Board as set out in the Board 
Charter include the following.

Strategic guidance and effective oversight  
of management

•  Providing input into, and approval of, the Company’s 
corporate strategy, performance objectives, and 
business plans as developed by management.

•  Appointing the CEO and managing succession 
planning, as well as overseeing changes to the 
Executive Leadership Team, with a view to ensuring 
senior management has the appropriate resources 
to enable implementation of the Company’s 
strategic initiatives. 

•  Directing, monitoring and assessing the Company’s 
performance against strategic and business plans.

•  Approving and monitoring capital management, 
including major capital expenditure, acquisitions,  
and divestments.

Risk assessment and management

•  Reviewing and evaluating the integrity of the 

Company’s systems of risk management (for both 
financial and non-financial risks), legal compliance, 
and internal compliance and control.

•  Reviewing and approving the Company’s risk  

appetite statement.

Obligations to stakeholders

•  Monitoring and reviewing processes aimed at  

ensuring integrity of financial and other reporting.

•  Monitoring compliance with adopted strategies, 
procedures and standards, including corporate 
governance standards.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (CONTINUED)

The Board recognises the importance of cultural, 
geographic and gender diversity amongst its members, 
which is reflected in the current representation on the 
Board, with four non-executive directors based offshore 
in regions in which the Company operates. The Board 
considers that it also has an appropriate mix of 
director tenure, with its members ranging from newly 
appointed to longer standing directors. As at June 2021, 
the average tenure for the Company’s non-executive 
directors was 6.2 years. 

In order to maintain gender diversity in the composition 
of the Board, in 2019 the Board set itself a measurable 
objective that at least 30% of its directors will be of 
each gender going forward. Since the appointment  
of Antonia Korsanos on 1 April 2020, women represent 
44.4% of the Board. In order to maintain gender 
diversity into the future, in 2021 the Board has set itself  
a measurable objective to maintain at least 30%  
of each gender going forward.

The Board is committed to ensuring its performance  
is enhanced through its director induction and ongoing 
education program. The Board’s ongoing education 
incorporates site visits and presentations given  
by management and external parties concerning 
developments impacting, or likely to impact,  
the business.

Independence

The Board, having reviewed the position, interests  
and relationships of all non-executive directors 
currently in office, considers that all non-executive 
directors are independent.

During the year, non-executive directors met 
periodically without the presence of management to 
have the opportunity to discuss key matters amongst 
the non-executive directors.

Annual director elections

Under the Constitution of the Company, non-executive 
directors are required to retire and may seek  
re-election, at least every three years. However,  
having regard to the global nature of the Company, 
emerging governance requirements in key markets,  
the inherent benefits for Board renewal and to ensure 
accountability of directors, in 2019 the Board adopted  
a policy pursuant to which all non-executive directors 
will seek re-election annually.

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Information on the operations and financial position  
for TWE is set out in the OFR accompanying this 
Directors’ Report.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

During the financial year the Company’s state of  
affairs was significantly impacted by COVID-19, the 
announcement of the Company’s new divisional 
operating model, the divestment of a significant 
portion of its US commercial wine business and the 
release by MOFCOM of the final determination in its 
anti-dumping and countervailing investigations into 
certain Australian wine exports into China. The nature 
of these impacts have been discussed in various ASX 
announcements made by TWE. Further information 
regarding these impacts on TWE can be found in the 
OFR, in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES, PROSPECTS AND  
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS

The OFR sets out information on TWE’s business 
strategies and prospects for future financial years  
and refers to likely developments in the Company’s 
operations and the expected results of those 
operations in future financial years. 

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE

Other than as disclosed in the financial statements, the 
directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances 
that have arisen since the end of the financial year 
which have significantly affected or may significantly 
affect the operations of the Group, the results of those 
operations or the state of affairs of the Group in 
subsequent financial years.

SUSTAINABILITY

Matters of environmental and social significance to the 
Group are primarily addressed within the sustainability 
framework. This framework is governed by the 
Sustainability Leadership Group (formerly known as the 
Global CR Council), comprising members from the 
Executive Leadership Team and senior representatives 
from regional and functional areas of the business.

Further detail on the Group’s sustainability framework, 
initiatives and achievements are detailed in the 
Sustainability section of this Annual Report and the 
Company’s most recent Sustainability Report.

The Group is subject to various environmental laws and 
regulatory frameworks governing energy, water, waste 
and greenhouse gas reporting for its operations globally. 

Management of environmental issues is a core 
element of the work program delivered by sustainability 
and technical teams and is detailed in the relevant 
material business risks outlined in the OFR.

The Group recognises the direct link between effective 
management of its environmental impacts and its 
business success. To this end, the Group’s environment 
policies, procedures and practices are designed to 
ensure that the Group maintains focus on resource 
efficiency and continuous improvement, and that 
environmental laws and permit conditions are 
complied with. Compliance with these regulatory and 
operational programs has been incorporated into 
relevant business practices and processes. 

The Group monitors its operations through a Health, 
Safety and Environment (HSE) Management System, 
overlaid with a risk management and compliance 
system overseen by the Audit and Risk Committee.  
The Sustainability Leadership Group provides oversight 
of the Group’s strategic approach to managing the 
environmental challenges it faces. Although the 
Group’s various operations involve relatively low 
inherent environmental compliance risk, matters  
of non-compliance are identified from time-to-time 
and are corrected. Where required, the appropriate 
regulatory authority is notified.

TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 – 51

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Under the compliance system, the Audit and Risk 
Committee receive six-monthly reports detailing any 
matters involving non-compliance and potential 
non-compliance. These reports also detail the 
corrective action that has been taken.

Under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting 
Act 2007 (Cth) (NGER Act), the Company is required to 
report on its Australian operations that exceed specific 
greenhouse gas emissions or energy-use thresholds. 
The Company submitted its annual NGER Act report by

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

applications to bring or intervene in proceedings, on 
behalf of the Company by a member or other person 
entitled to do so under section 237 of the Corporations 
Act 2001 (Cth).

NON-AUDIT SERVICES AND AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE

KPMG is the Company’s auditor, appointed with effect 
from 23 October 2013.

The Group may decide to engage the auditor, KPMG,  
on assignments additional to their statutory audit 
duties where such services are not in conflict with their 
role as auditor and their expertise and/or detailed 
experience with the Company may allow cost 
efficiencies for the work.

The Board has considered the position and, in 
accordance with advice received from the Audit  
and Risk Committee, is satisfied that the provision  
of non-audit services by KPMG is compatible with  
the general standard of independence for auditors 
imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Board 
also notes that:

•  the engagements for all non-audit services have 
been reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer, and 
where relevant, the Chair of the Audit and Risk 
Committee in accordance with the Committee’s 
rules of engagement regarding the provision of 
non-audit services by the External Auditor contained 
in the Committee Charter to ensure they do not 
impact the actual or perceived impartiality and 
objectivity of KPMG; and

•  none of the services provided by KPMG undermine 

the general principles relating to auditor 
independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics  
for Professional Accountants.

During the financial year, the fees paid or payable for 
non-audit services provided by KPMG and its related 
practices totalled $439,280. Amounts paid or payable 
for audit and non-audit services are disclosed in  
note 31 of the Financial Statements.

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration  
is set out on page 53 and forms part of this report.

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION

Introduction from the Chairman of the Human Resources Committee 

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present our F21 
remuneration report for which we will seek your approval 
at our Annual General Meeting in October 2021. The 
remuneration report is designed to demonstrate the 
Company’s performance, executive reward framework 
and outcomes, and their strong alignment with our 
strategic objectives and shareholder interests.

TWE’s remuneration practices are designed to attract, 
motivate and retain the high-calibre talent needed to 
deliver sustainable results that out-perform the market 
over the long term. 

While F21 was a challenging year for the Company, the 
Board is immensely proud of the outstanding execution 
and organisational resilience our team demonstrated 
despite significant disruption, including ongoing impacts 
from the global pandemic, the Californian wildfires and 
the introduction of unprecedented import duties on 
Australian wine by MOFCOM. Our response plan to mitigate 
impacts of the MOFCOM tariffs are proving successful  
with highlights including the delivery of incremental 
growth for Penfolds Bin and Icon ranges in key Asian 
markets outside of China, accelerated investment in  
sales and marketing capability in priority growth markets, 
and the establishment of new multi country of origin 
propositions including the Penfolds California Collection. 

Despite these extraordinary headwinds, we have reported 
EBITS1 of $510.3 million which is in line with prior year. On an 
organic basis, EBITS increased by 3.5%. ROCE improved 
from 10.2%2 in F20 to 10.8% which remains ahead of our 
weighted cost of capital. Our EBITS margin for F21 
increased by 0.6 percentage points to 19.9%, and the 
Company’s Total Shareholder Return performance 
declined in light of the disproportionate impacts on our 
business. The Company’s capital structure remains strong, 
flexible and efficient. We have retained a strong, flexible 
balance sheet and investment grade capital structure, 
with net debt3 reducing by $376.5 million in F21 and net 
debt/EBITDAS significantly improving to 1.6x from 2.1x in F20. 

The remuneration outcomes for F21 reflect an appropriate 
alignment between pay, TWE’s strategic objectives, 
financial performance and shareholder returns. The 
unanticipated external forces on our performance have 
impacted remuneration outcomes for our executives.  

No short-term incentives were paid in F21 for the F20 year 
and fixed remuneration for all executives was frozen 
during F21. Our long-term incentive plans have not vested 
for the second year in a row. 

F21 Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) targets were initially  
set in the context of our roadmap out of COVID-19, easing  
of government mandated restrictions and travel and 
economic recovery in our key markets. The MOFCOM 
announcement in August 2020 had a significant and 
unanticipated impact on our performance and was 
outside of our executives’ control. As foreshadowed in the  
F20 Remuneration Report, the Board carefully evaluated 
F21 STIP targets during the year and as a result, the  
targets were adjusted mid-year. This was imperative to 
enable us to achieve a balance between appropriately 
motivating and rewarding our executives for results 
delivered in extenuating circumstances, and setting the 
Company up for long term growth and returns for our 
shareholders. When setting the adjusted targets,  
the impact caused by the loss of shipments to China  
was removed; however, executives were then tasked with 
aggressive, stretch goals such as driving growth in other 
markets and savings to mitigate the overall impact as well 
as focus on delivering growth in earnings. The Company 
has delivered exceptionally well against these revised 
targets and has partially offset some of the MOFCOM 
impacts as well as the ongoing adverse COVID-19 
impacts. We remain confident our talent, business model 
and remuneration policies and framework will return us  
to long-term value creation into the future.

The Committee is responsible for oversight of other 
Human Resources matters across the Company,  
including diversity and inclusion, talent development  
and succession, culture and engagement. It remains our 
intention to encourage open dialogue with shareholders 
and other stakeholders, and accordingly I welcome any 
feedback and comments you may have.

Yours sincerely,

Warwick Every-Burns 
Human Resources Committee Chairman

d) Short-term incentives in the year
F21 STIP targets were set in the context of our roadmap out 
of COVID-19, easing of government mandated restrictions 
and travel, and economic recovery in our key markets. The 
MOFCOM announcement in August 2020 was a material 
uncontrollable event and had a significant impact on  
our performance. As outlined previously, F21 STIP targets 
were reviewed and adjusted after the first half of F21  
to achieve a balance between appropriately motivating 
and rewarding our executives for results delivered in 
extenuating circumstances, and setting up TWE for long 
term growth and returns for our shareholders. When 
setting the adjusted targets, the impact caused by  
the loss of shipments to China was removed, however, 
executives were then tasked with aggressive, stretch  
goals such as driving growth in other markets and savings 
to mitigate the overall impact and to focus on delivering 
growth in earnings. These opportunities also assisted  
in offsetting ongoing adverse COVID-19 impacts.

We continue the focus on our premiumisation strategy 
and our global response plan to mitigate impacts from 
the measures implemented by MOFCOM continues  
to progress. 

Whilst the company achieved above target performance 
against the revised STIP targets, the Board has determined 
that the F21 STIP Balanced Scorecard multiplier for executives 
will be paid at 1.0x (on target). When taking into account 
each executive’s Individual Performance Multiplier based on 
their achievement of individual Key Performance Objectives 
(KPOs) and demonstration of the Company’s DNA, the F21 
STIP outcomes are 86.5% of fixed remuneration for Mr Young 
and 73.2% of fixed remuneration for Mr Boxer. The CEO 
received a STIP outcome of 108.3% of fixed remuneration. 

e) Long-term incentives in the year
Whilst the Company has focused on sustainable earnings, 
cost management and operational effectiveness during 
the pandemic and following the introduction of the 
MOFCOM tariffs, the subsequent financial impacts have 
had an impact on long-term incentive plans (LTIP). The 
Company’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance 
was at the 15.8th percentile relative to its peer group while 
ROCE results, impacted significantly by the COVID-19 
pandemic and the MOFCOM tariffs, were also below 
threshold. Targets were not met and the Board elected not 
to apply discretion to the F19 LTIP, which resulted in nil 
vesting for eligible executives. 

1. KEY MESSAGES 

This report details the F21 remuneration framework  
and outcomes for the Key Management Personnel (KMP)  
of the Company which includes non-executive directors.  
In this report, ‘executives’ refers to executives identified as 
KMP excluding the non-executive directors. It is prepared  
in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations 
Act 2001 (Cth) and all references are to Australian dollars 
($) unless otherwise specified.

a) Financial results for F21
Like many organisations, TWE experienced a challenging 
year in F21. We demonstrated outstanding execution  
and organisational resilience despite a year of significant 
disruption, including ongoing impacts from the global 
pandemic, the Californian wildfires and the introduction  
of import duties on Australian wine by MOFCOM, and 
delivered top-line growth in Asian markets outside of 
China, the Americas, ANZ and EMEA. We delivered EBITS  
of $510.3 million which was in line with prior year, and  
on an organic basis, was a 3.5% increase. EBITS margin 
increased 0.6 percentage points to 19.9%. TWE delivered 
Earnings per Share (EPS) of 42.9 cents per share (before 
material items and SGARA) whilst Return on Capital 
Employed (ROCE) improved from F20 at 10.8%.

b) KMP
Executive KMP at TWE during F21 are as follows:

Executives (as at 30 June 2021)

Current KMP

TM Ford

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Full Year

MJ Young

Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Full Year

SR Boxer

Chief Strategy and Corporate 
Development Officer (CSCDO)

Full Year

Former KMP

MA Clarke

Former Chief Executive Officer 

Ceased  
1 July 2020

From 1 July 2020, Michael Clarke ceased as an Executive 
KMP, Tim Ford commenced as CEO, and Stuart Boxer, 
CSCDO, became Executive KMP.

c) Fixed Remuneration
TWE is a truly global company with significant growth 
increasing the responsibility and complexity of executive 
roles. The executive team has been crucial to the successful 
navigation of COVID-19 and the tariffs imposed on Australian 
wine by MOFCOM. The reward, retention and development 
of this team is a key consideration of the Board.

There were no adjustments to fixed remuneration for  
any executives during F21. To align executive remuneration 
with market benchmark data (provided by independent 
external consultants), for F22 the Board has approved  
a 5% increase to Mr Ford’s remuneration to $1,575,000,  
a 5% increase to Mr Young’s remuneration to $749,700  
and a 2.5% increase to Mr Boxer’s remuneration to $691,875, 
effective 1 September 2021.

f) Changes for F22

F22 LTIP
In the F22 LTIP, the weighting of the two metrics remain unchanged from the F21 LTIP with ROCE weighted at 75% of the plan 
and Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) weighted at 25%. 

The following targets have been set for the F22 LTIP. 

ROCE growth will be measured against the F21 ROCE base of 10.8% and will vest according to the following schedule. 

ROCE baseline  
10.8% (F21)

The relative TSR vesting schedule for the F22 LTIP has changed from F21 in that vesting has increased from 35% to 50%  
if TWE’s ranking is at the 50th percentile. This change reflects common market practice but will not significantly alter 
outcomes for executives. Full vesting of the relative TSR metric will still require a ranking at or above the 75th percentile.

The peer group for relative TSR comprises companies within the S&P/ASX 200 Index, excluding companies from the energy, 
metal and mining, real estate and finance sectors. 

The Board has the discretion to adjust hurdles or vesting outcomes to ensure that executives are neither penalised nor 
provided with a windfall benefit arising from matters outside of management’s control.

Offers of performance rights under the F22 LTIP are subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions, as outlined above, 
over the performance period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024. LTIP awards to KMP are at the absolute discretion of the Board. 
For the F22 LTIP the following awards will apply:

• Mr Ford: opportunity of 175% of fixed remuneration at maximum, 87.5% at threshold, 0% below threshold

• Mr Young: opportunity of 150% of fixed remuneration at maximum, 75% at threshold, 0% below threshold

• Mr Boxer: opportunity of 150% of fixed remuneration at maximum, 75% at threshold, 0% below threshold

The Company will seek shareholder approval at the 2021 Annual General Meeting for the F22 LTIP offer to the CEO.

2. REMUNERATION STRATEGY AND FRAMEWORK

a) Remuneration strategy
TWE’s remuneration strategy sets the direction for the remuneration framework, and drives the design and application  
of remuneration programs across the Company, including for executives. The strategy aims to attract, retain and reward 
the best talent while building a performance oriented culture. It sets out principles and processes to ensure remuneration 
practices attract and motivate the highest calibre employees to achieve TWE’s business and financial objectives.

The remuneration strategy is designed to drive strong alignment between financial results for the business, wealth 
outcomes for shareholders and remuneration outcomes for employees. The Board believes that remuneration  
of executives should include a fixed component and at-risk or performance-related components, including both  
short-term and long-term incentives. Executive and stakeholder interests are aligned through share ownership.

The weighting of the at-risk remuneration components for each executive reflects the Board’s commitment to 
performance-based reward. The diagram below illustrates the mix of remuneration components for executives, firstly  
as a percentage of total remuneration (TR) at target, and then as a proportion of total maximum potential remuneration. 
Section 3 of this report describes performance outcomes over the past five years, and how they have impacted 
remuneration outcomes.

b) Total remuneration 
Executive total remuneration comprises fixed remuneration (FR) and variable (‘at-risk’) remuneration in the form of STIP 
and LTIP. The remuneration structure in F21 for current executives as at 30 June 2021 is as follows. 

Total Remuneration with STIP at Target and LTIP at Threshold:

CEO

Executives

Percentage of TR

FR 41%
STIP (at target) 34%
LTIP (at threshold) 25%

Percentage of TR

FR 46%
STIP (at target) 30%
LTIP (at threshold) 24%

Total Remuneration with both STIP and LTIP at Maximum:

CEO

Executives

Percentage of TR

FR 24%
STIP (at maximum) 35%
LTIP (at maximum) 41%

Percentage of TR

FR 27%
STIP (at maximum) 32%
LTIP (at maximum) 41%

c) Fixed remuneration
For Australian-based executives, total fixed remuneration is inclusive of superannuation and other benefits. For executives 
based outside Australia, references to fixed remuneration refer to base salary.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually and set at a market-competitive level reflective of the executive’s skills, 
experience and responsibilities, and taking into account complexity of role, location and performance. The Company 
looks at industry and general market peer groups, with key criteria applied such as market capitalisation and revenue. 
Both Australian and global peers are considered, reflecting the complexity of roles in a global business and the 
Company’s international lens on talent. Peer groups are reviewed regularly for accuracy and alignment with the  
nature of the business. 

TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 – 57

F21 REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTINUED)

d) Short-term incentive plan (STIP) 
The STIP drives an annual at-risk component of remuneration and links business results for the fiscal year, executive 
performance and reward using a balanced scorecard approach. 

The STIP performance measures are consistent across the Company. They are designed to support the financial health  
of the organisation and shareholder return in terms of dividends and share price – this year and over time. The metrics 
are aimed at reinforcing Company culture as their achievement requires compliance with the Company’s DNA: We Bring 
our Whole Self, We are Courageous and We Deliver Together. Hurdles and stretch targets are set for each metric and the 
sustainability of growth and returns is non-negotiable.

(0%-20%)

The EBITS metric focuses and rewards executives for the overall health and profit-producing ability  
of the Company. It is designed to ensure TWE products are available in the right quantities and retail 
locations and to reward executives for levels of earnings that will benefit shareholders and provide 
capital that can be further invested by the Company for future growth. 

This growth metric aims to reward executives for delivering sales volumes in our priority brands to drive 
a steep trajectory in top line growth globally. Delivery of this metric drives executives to explore wider 
opportunities for the Company to grow beyond existing products, markets, consumers and customers.

Executives delivering margin accretion are rewarded for delivering growth from quality brand 
contribution through premiumisation of the Company’s portfolio, optimising investment and making 
risk-managed, smart decisions. 

This metric rewards executives for the delivery of quality growth and strong planning operations  
as measured by improvements in the balance sheet, operating cash flow and forecast accuracy,  
all critical to delivering ROCE metric and financial returns for investors.

This metric aims to reward executives for commercial optimisation strategies, ensuring sales volumes 
are obtained in a sustainable way.

This measure focuses executives on the delivery of key transformational programs.

The table below provides further detail including the weighting of metrics and size of opportunity.

F21 STIP Performance Measures 

STIP Opportunity 

STIP Detail

The annual STIP opportunity is at the 
absolute discretion of the Board. In F21, 
the following STIP opportunities applied:

An annual award of cash and/or equity 
may be received based on:

•  Group, team and individual financial, 

Target:

Executives 66.5% of FR

CEO 83.3% of FR

Maximum:

Executives 120% of FR

CEO 150% of FR

The Individual Performance Multiplier 
is derived from the level of each 
Executive’s achievement of individual 
Key Performance Objectives (KPOs) and 
demonstration of the Company’s DNA. 

The Individual Performance Multiplier 
can drive a result of 0 to 1.5 as per the 
diagram below. 

strategic and operational 
performance, measured by way  
of the Balanced Scorecard; and 

•  Agreed individual key performance 
objectives (including the TWE DNA) 
measured by way of the Individual 
Performance Multiplier.

One-third of the STIP award for executives 
is deferred into Restricted Equity in the 
Company. Of this Restricted Equity, 
one-half (i.e. one-sixth of the overall STIP 
award) will vest after one year, and 
one-half (i.e. one-sixth of the overall STIP 
award) will vest after two years.

The remaining two-thirds of the STIP 
award is delivered in cash at the end  
of F21.

The STIP Balanced Scorecard  
is weighted by role. 

CEO:

50% global EBITS

15% quality growth in sales volume

20% brand contribution margin 

15% cash conversion

CFO:

30% global EBITS

10% quality growth in sales volume

10% brand contribution margin

CSCDO: 

30% global EBITS

10% quality growth in sales volume

10% brand contribution margin 

10% cash conversion

20% commercial investment

20% transformation programs

Each measure is assessed after  
the financial year-end against the 
full-year audited financial report  
on a constant currency basis to 
determine the overall level of 
performance achieved. 

The Balanced Scorecard can drive a 
multiplier outcome between 0 and 1.2

e) Long-term incentive plan (LTIP)
The LTIP is designed to reward executives for long-term performance and value creation for shareholders. Offers are 
approved by the Board and made to select executives and senior leaders as nominated by the CEO. For F21, the Board 
awarded the CEO an LTIP opportunity of 175% of fixed remuneration. 

The performance period for the F21 LTIP is 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2023 and the plan has the following features.

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) Growth  
(75% weighting)

Calculated as EBITS divided by average capital 
employed (at constant currency). Capital employed 
is the sum of average net assets (excluding SGARA) 
and average net debt.

LTIP awards are at the absolute 
discretion of the Board. In F21, 
the following awards applied:

•   CEO 175% of FR.

•   Other executives 150% of FR.

•   In F21, Mr Young received  
an additional one-off LTIP 
grant of 50% of fixed 
remuneration. This one-off 
grant is subject to the same 
performance conditions as 
the F21 LTIP.

LTIP awards are delivered in the 
form of performance rights. The 
number of rights allocated is based 
on face value using the 90-day 
Volume Weighted Average Price 
(VWAP) preceding 1 July at the start 
of the performance period. If the 
performance conditions are met  
at the end of the three-year 
performance period, rights vest 
and executives receive a share for 
each vested performance right. 

No amount is payable on the 
vesting of the performance rights 
or on their conversion into shares. 
Any rights that do not vest, lapse.

f) General employee share plan (Share Cellar) 
The Company has a broad-based employee share plan, Share Cellar, which operates by way of after-tax employee 
payroll contributions (minimum $500 to maximum $5,000) to acquire shares in the Company. The Company delivers one 
matched share for every purchased share held at the plan vesting date (approximately two years), subject to continued 
employment. An equivalent cash plan operates in countries where, due to local laws, it is not practicable to offer shares  
to employees. 

Shares were acquired in F21 under the 2020 Share Cellar offer, and a subsequent offer to participate in the 2021 Share 
Cellar Plan was made during the year. The first share purchases in the 2021 Share Cellar Plan will occur in August 2021 (F22).

g) Mid-term incentive plan (MTIP) and restricted equity plan (REP)
In addition to the LTIP, the Company operates the MTIP and REP which allows the Board to make offers of Deferred Share 
Rights or Restricted Shares for the purpose of attracting, retaining and motivating key employees within the Company. 
Participation in the MTIP is open to senior managers (excluding executives eligible for LTIP) and is subject to performance 
conditions. There were no awards granted to, or vested for, executives under the MTIP or REP in F21.

60 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021

h) Other key information

Board discretion and clawback
The Board will exercise discretion to ensure any cash or equity outcomes are appropriately aligned to the Company’s 
underlying performance and the interests of shareholders. The Board maintains the discretion to clawback any vested  
or unvested equity should a clawback event arise, which was not apparent at the time the equity was awarded. This  
may include (but not limited to) material misstatement of financial results, material reputational damage to the 
Company, or where there was serious misconduct by a participant. This includes discretion to reduce, forfeit or reinstate 
awards, require payback of proceeds from the sale of vested awards and/or reset or alter the performance conditions 
applying to any award.

Leavers
The Board has absolute discretion as to whether participants retain their unvested equity upon ceasing employment, 
taking into account the circumstances of their departure. In general if an executive ceases employment with the 
Company they forfeit their entitlement to cash or equity under the Company’s incentive plans. 

In exceptional circumstances (such as redundancy, death or disability), the Board, in its discretion, may determine  
that a portion of the award is retained having regard to performance and time lapsed to date of cessation (or that  
an equivalent cash payment be made). Retained awards will generally be subject to post-employment vesting, where 
the participant must continue to hold the relevant Performance Rights until the end of the performance period, and  
be subject to the performance conditions under the plan.

Dividends and voting rights
Plan participants granted restricted shares are entitled to dividends and voting rights. Participants holding time-restricted 
rights or performance rights are entitled to neither dividends nor voting rights.

Change of control
In the event of a change of control, unless the Board determines otherwise, the transfer restrictions imposed on the shares 
will be lifted, but only in so far as to permit the executive to participate in the change of control event. Any shares that do 
not participate in the change of control event will continue to be subject to restrictions until the end of the applicable 
restriction period.

Hedging
To ensure the variable components of the Company’s remuneration structure remain ‘at-risk’, employees may not hedge 
against the risk inherent in arrangements such as the LTIP or any other equity-based incentive plans. Awards will be 
forfeited if the policy is breached.

3. PERFORMANCE AND REMUNERATION OUTCOMES

a) Overview of Company performance 
Company performance during F21 was once-again impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but more significantly, the 
introduction of tariffs for imports into China by MOFCOM. EBITS margin accretion increased and the Company delivered 
EBITS of $510.3 million which is in line with prior year and a 3.5% increase on an organic basis. ROCE improved from F20  
at 10.8% and TWE continues to take a disciplined approach to capital allocation. Our global response plan to mitigate 
impacts from the measures implemented by MOFCOM is progressing well. Key highlights since the tariffs announcement 
include the delivery of incremental growth for Penfolds Bin & Icon in key Asian markets outside of China, accelerated 
investment in sales and marketing capability in priority growth markets and the establishment of new multi country  
of origin propositions including Penfolds California Collection.

The table below summarises the Company’s financial performance over the last five financial years.

b) Fixed remuneration outcomes
Market benchmarking and salary reviews are conducted annually with any changes effective from 1 September. When 
comparing executives’ remuneration to the market, the ASX 21-75 peer group was used. No adjustments were made  
to fixed remuneration of executives in F21.

c) Short-term incentive outcomes 
Short-term incentives are assessed by achievement against each executive’s Balanced Scorecard and specific  
personal objectives. 

The F21 STIP scorecard is heavily weighted to financial metrics with the primary driver EBITS. Our F21 EBITS results reflect  
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and MOFCOM tariffs, which had a significant impact on TWE’s trading performance 
across all geographies, in particular, China. As outlined previously, the Board adjusted STIP targets after the first half of F21. 
After removing the impact caused by the loss of shipments to China, the revised targets included stretch goals for 
executives to achieve. The Company has delivered outstanding performance against these, partially offsetting some  
of the MOFCOM impacts as well as ongoing adverse COVID-19 impacts. This was imperative to ensuring we appropriately 
motivate and reward our executives for results delivered in extenuating circumstances, but also to set up TWE for long

d) Long-term incentive awards and outcomes

LTIP awarded during the year
Performance rights were allocated to executives under the F21 LTIP after the 2020 Annual General Meeting and are subject 
to a three-year performance period. Any vesting is subject to two hurdles (detailed on page 60). The performance rights 
have no exercise price and the minimum total value of the grant is zero. The maximum value is the number of awards 
granted multiplied by the share price at vesting.

Performance is measured over the three-year period ended 30 June 2021. The Group’s relative TSR performance was at 
the 15.8th percentile relative to its peer group while ROCE results, impacted significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic and 
MOFCOM tariffs, were also below threshold. The Board elected not to apply discretion to the F19 LTIP, which resulted in nil 
vesting for eligible executives. 

The F19 LTIP vesting outcome by executive is provided below.

1. 

‘Value at grant’ is calculated based on $17.4848 which was the volume weighted average price of Company shares sold on the ASX over the  
90 day period up to and including 30 June 2018. This was the price used to calculate the number of performance rights granted under the F19 LTIP 
as previously disclosed by the Company.

2.  The value ‘lapsed’ or ‘vested’ is calculated based on the closing share price on the performance period end date of 30 June 2021, being $11.68.
3.  The number of rights which lapsed as they did not vest.
4.  As disclosed in TWE’s Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2020; 94,973 Performance Rights held by Mr Clarke on 30 June 2020 under 
the F19 LTIP were forfeited pursuant to the good leaver provisions of the LTIP Plan Rules on his retirement on 1 July 2020. The remaining 190,990 
Performance Rights lapsed on 30 June 2021 as they did not vest.

e) General employee share plan (Share Cellar)
During F21, the 2021 Share Cellar Plan was launched. No executives participated in this or the 2020 plan. The Company has 
approximately one quarter of all eligible employees participating in the Share Cellar Plan and investing their post-tax pay 
to become shareholders. 

f) Summary of awards held by executives
The table on the following page sets out the number and movement of awards held by executives. Restricted Shares  
are generally issued under STIP Deferral (Restricted Equity). Performance Rights are issued under the LTIP. Deferred Share 
Rights are issued under the REP or represent the right to matching shares under the 2018 and 2019 Share Cellar Plans.

F21 REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTINUED)

OTHER REMUNERATION INFORMATION

5. GOVERNANCE

a) Role of the Human Resources Committee (HRC)
The HRC provides assistance to the Board in relation to such matters as monitoring remuneration principles and 
frameworks, providing advice on remuneration matters, making remuneration recommendations for executives, 
approving incentive plans, and reviewing and governing remuneration policies. In addition to its remuneration 
responsibilities and together with the Board, the HRC’s duties include overseeing talent management, diversity  
and leadership development.

The Committee ensures that the Company’s policies and frameworks aid the achievement of the Company’s strategic 
objectives, provide appropriate governance, are aligned with market practice, and fulfil the Board’s responsibility to 
shareholders. During the year the Audit & Risk Committee Chair attended all Human Resources Committee meetings as a 
Committee member. Also, the Human Resources Committee Chair typically attends the Audit & Risk Committee meetings, 
providing a link between both Committees to assist with oversight of non-financial risk.

As outlined in Section 4 of the Corporate Governance Statement disclosed on the Company’s website wwwtweglobal.com, 
the Company has procedures in place for the reporting of any matter that may give rise to a conflict between the 
interests of a director and those of the Company. In addition, the Company has adopted a general policy for employees 
in relation to the disclosure and management of potential conflicts of interest (see Section 4 of the Corporate Governance 
Statement on wwwtweglobal.com).

b) Engagement of remuneration advisors
In F21, the Board and HRC engaged PwC as an independent advisor to the HRC. Potential conflicts of interest are 
considered by the HRC, and the Board and HRC are satisfied that the advice provided by PwC was free from undue 
influence. Any advice provided by remuneration consultants is used as a guide only and is not a substitute for detailed 
consideration of all relevant issues by the HRC. No remuneration recommendations, as defined by the Corporations  
Act 2001 (Cth), were provided. 

c) Executive and non-executive director share ownership
Executives and non-executive directors are encouraged to have control over ordinary shares in the Company, and 
executives and non-executive directors are required to hold at least the equivalent of one year’s fixed remuneration  
or base fees. The guidelines are expected to be met over a reasonable period of time (approximately five years).  
The Company’s variable incentive programs contribute towards executives meeting this guideline. The Director Share 
Acquisition Plan (DSAP) allows directors to apply after-tax fees to the acquisition of the Company’s shares on a periodic 
basis at the prevailing market rate, however there was no opportunity to participate in this plan during F21 due to trading 
restrictions. The table below sets out KMP shareholdings.

F21 REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTINUED)

6. FURTHER INFORMATION

a) Executive contracts
There is no fixed term for executive contracts. The Company may terminate service agreements immediately for cause,  
in which case the executive is not entitled to any payment other than the value of fixed remuneration and accrued  
leave entitlements up to the termination date. On resignation all executives are required to give six months’ notice.  
If the termination is Company initiated without cause, all executives have termination provisions of six months’ notice  
by the Company plus six months’ severance pay.

b) Other transactions with KMP and their personally related entities
The Company entered into transactions which are insignificant in amount with KMP and their related parties within 
normal employee, customer or supplier relationships on terms and conditions no more favourable than those available  
in similar dealings which include payments of salaries and benefits and purchase of Company products.

Some directors of the Company are also directors of public companies which have transactions with the Company.  
The relevant directors do not believe they have the individual capacity to control or significantly influence the financial 
policies of those companies. The companies are therefore not considered to be related parties for the purpose of the 
disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

c) Prior years’ equity arrangements
This section summarises all outstanding equity arrangements for executives, as reported in previous Remuneration Reports.

The below equity plans have no exercise price and the minimum total value of the grant is zero. The maximum value  
is the number of awards granted multiplied by the share price at vesting.

on foot as at 30 June 2021.

2.  The value of STIP Deferral at allocation date is calculated based on the five-day VWAP up to and including the allocation date. The F19 STIP 

allocation price was $18.3514.

3.  The value of F20 LTIP awards at allocation date is calculated based on the ninety-day VWAP up to and including 30 June 2019 ($15.4966 per share). 

The vesting schedule is provided in Table 6.2.

4.  The value of matched rights is calculated based on the purchase price of the 2019 Share Cellar shares at each purchase date. 
5.  This LTIP value is calculated using the valuation method detailed in Note 21 of the Financial Statements. All other plans are based on face value.

Constant currency

An exchange rate that eliminates the effects of exchange rate fluctuations year-on-year.

Earnings per Share (EPS)

NPAT excluding SGARA and material items, divided by the weighted average number of shares. 
Adjusted EPS is used to calculate performance outcomes, meaning that the Board retains the 
discretion to adjust EPS to ensure that participants are not penalised or provided with a windfall  
gain arising from matters outside of management’s control.

EBITS

Earnings before interest, tax, SGARA and material items.

Key management 
personnel (KMP)

Phantom Shares

Those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major 
activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether 
executive or otherwise), as listed in the introduction to the Remuneration Report.

Units which provide the participant with a right to receive a cash payment at the vesting date, 
whereby the payment is tied to the market value of an equivalent number of TWE shares.

Relative Total 
Shareholder Return (TSR)

Restricted Equity

The amount of the payout will increase as the share price rises, and decrease if the share price falls, 
but without the participant actually receiving any TWE shares.

The return on investment of a company relative to a peer group of companies.

Rights or shares granted by TWE that vest upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, such as 
continued employment for a period of time or the achievement of particular performance 
milestones. The plan participant cannot deal in the equity until it vests and the restriction is lifted. 

Return on Capital 
Employed (ROCE)

EBITS divided by Capital Employed (at constant currency). Capital Employed is the sum of average 
net assets (adjusted for SGARA impact) and average net debt.

SGARA

Self-generating and regenerating assets.

SGARA represents the difference between the fair value of harvest (as determined under AASB 141 
Agriculture) and the cost of harvest. The fair value gain or loss is excluded from Management EBITS so 
that earnings can be assessed based on the cost of harvest, rather than their fair value. This 
approach results in a better reflection of the true nature of TWE’s consumer branded and FMCG 
business and improved comparability with domestic and global peers.

Total Shareholder  
Return (TSR)

Total return on investment of a security, taking into account both capital appreciation and distributed 
income that was reinvested.

About this report
For the year ended 30 June 2021

Operating assets and liabilities: provides information 
regarding the physical assets and non-physical assets

the accounting policies applied and specific judgements 
and estimates made by management in arriving at the 
value of these assets and operating liabilities.

Capital structure: provides information about the capital

(equity) and how much is borrowed from financial 
institutions (debt) in order to finance the activities of the 
Group both now and in the future.

Taxation: sets out the Group’s tax accounting policies,  
the current and deferred tax charges, a reconciliation  
of profit or loss before tax to the tax charge or credit  
and the movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Risk: discusses the Group’s exposure to various financial 
risks, explains how these affect the financial position  
of the Group and what is done to manage these risks.

Group composition: explains aspects of the Group’s 
structure and business acquisitions.

Other: other required disclosures under Australian 
Accounting Standards and IFRS.

Key estimates and judgements

In preparing this financial report, the Group is required to 
make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect 
the reported amounts in the financial statements.

These estimates, judgements and assumptions are 
continually evaluated, and are based on forecasts of 
economic conditions which reflect expectations and 
assumptions as at 30 June 2021 about future events that 
the Directors believe are reasonable in the circumstances.

The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or 
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates 
are significant to the financial statements:

Instrument 2016/191.

Notes to the financial statements
The notes include additional information required to 
understand the financial statements that is material  
and relevant to the operations, financial position and 
performance of the Group.

Information is considered material and relevant if the 
amount in question is significant because of its size, nature 
or incidence or it helps to explain the impact of significant 
changes in the business, for example, acquisitions and 
asset write-downs.

Line items labelled ‘other’ on the face of the consolidated 
statements comprise miscellaneous income, expenses, 
assets, liabilities or cash flows which individually or 
in aggregate are not considered material to warrant 
additional disclosures.

Where applicable, comparative periods have been 
adjusted to disclose comparatives on the same basis 
as the current year.

The notes are organised into the following sections:

Earnings: focuses on the financial results and 
performance of the Group. It provides disclosures relating 
to income, expenses, segment information, material items 
and earnings per share.

Working capital: shows the assets and liabilities generated 
through trading activity. It provides information regarding 
working capital management and analysis of the 
elements of working capital.

NOTE 1 – ABOUT THIS REPORT (CONTINUED)

Key estimates and judgements (continued)

COVID-19 considerations
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of financial statements, 
generally, due to the impact of the following factors:

•  the extent and duration of actions by governments, businesses and consumers to contain the spread of the virus;

•  the extent and duration of the economic impacts. This includes the disruption to capital markets, deteriorating credit, 

higher unemployment, and changes in consumer discretionary spending behaviours; and

•  the effectiveness of government measures that have and will be put in place to support businesses and consumers 

through this disruption and economic downturn.

During F21, the Group experienced the following impacts on its operations and financial statements as a result  
of these factors:

•  Governments continued to take varying approaches to containment of the virus in each of TWE’s markets. In general, 
retail and e-commerce channels remained open and other channels (including restaurants, bars, cellar doors and 
travel retail) were partially or entirely closed with re-opening occurring at different rates across individual markets.

•  In-home consumption remained higher during periods of lockdown, primarily through retail and e-commerce channels.

•  Consumers continued to turn to well-known and trusted brands, which drove volumes of Commercial, Premium and 

lower Luxury wines. Higher value Luxury wines were negatively impacted by lower consumption – driven primarily by the 
closure of key Luxury channels.

•  In the majority of TWE’s markets, governments maintained fiscal and economic stimulus packages of varying natures 

during at least part of the year, some of which remain in place at 30 June 2021, and at the date of this report.

•  Agricultural activities (including wine production) has generally been considered an essential service in all of the 

Group’s key sourcing regions, with no material interruptions encountered through global operations.

In respect of this financial report, the impact of COVID-19 is primarily relevant to estimates of future performance which 
is in turn relevant to the areas of impairment of non-financial assets (note 15), net realisable value of inventory (note 9), 
recoverability of receivables (note 9) and recoverability of income tax losses (note 23). Other areas of estimates, 
judgements and assumptions for the Group are not impacted by estimates of future performance.

In making estimates of future performance, the following assumptions and judgements in relation to the potential impact 
of COVID-19 have been applied by the Group. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions 
and conditions.

•  Retail and e-commerce channels are assumed to remain open at the levels as at June 2021, in all regions.

•  All regions will continue a phased ‘re-opening’ of most previously closed or partially closed channels (bars, restaurants, 
cellar doors) towards pre-COVID-19 levels at a progressive rate over the course of F22, however travel retail is expected 
to remain below pre-COVID-19 levels.

•  In-home consumption, and therefore retail and e-commerce channel sales, are assumed to stay at levels generally 

elevated against pre-COVID-19 conditions.

•  Luxury wine consumption assumed to continue to progressively return to pre-COVID-19 levels over the course of F22.

•  To the extent not yet phased out, government fiscal and economic stimulus packages are maintained, but phased  

out as economies return to historical output levels.

•  Agricultural activities (including wine production) continue to be considered an essential service in all of the Group’s  

key sourcing regions.

As noted above, the Group assumes a trend of general recovery. Whilst further virus outbreaks may occur in some 
regions, the progressive deployment of vaccines in key markets is expected to support recovery and the assumptions 
applied by the Group.

Key assumptions and judgements have been stress tested for the impacts of COVID-19 with further downside sensitivity. 
As a result, more extensive changes in assumptions have been considered and disclosed in the financial statements.

Further details on the estimates, judgements and assumptions applied by the Group within these Financial statements 
are included within the relevant Notes, including sensitivities applied to ensure financial statements and disclosures  
are appropriate.

TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 – 79

Notes to the consolidated financial statements:
About this report
For the year ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 1 – ABOUT THIS REPORT (CONTINUED)

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the  
assets and liabilities of Treasury Wine Estates Limited  
and its controlled entities as a whole at year-end and  
the consolidated results and cash flows for the year.  
A list of controlled entities (subsidiaries) is provided  
in note 27.

An entity is regarded as a controlled entity when the 
Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns 
from its involvement with the entity and has the ability  
to affect those returns through power over the entity.

The rights of other investors to the results and equity  
of the subsidiaries (called non-controlling interests)  
are shown separately in the consolidated statement  
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and 
consolidated statement of financial position respectively.

The financial information of the subsidiaries is prepared 
for the same reporting period as the parent, using 
consistent accounting policies. Intra-group balances  
and transactions arising from intra-group transactions  
are eliminated.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without 
a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented 
in Australian dollars. Each entity in the Group determines 
its own functional currency and items included in the 
financial statements of each entity are measured using 
that functional currency. The major functional currencies 
used throughout the Group include Australian Dollar (AUD), 
United States Dollar (USD) and Great British Pound (GBP). 
Other currencies used include the Canadian Dollar,  
Euro, New Zealand Dollar, Singapore Dollar, Swedish  
Krona, Norwegian Krone, Chinese Renminbi and South 
African Rand.

Foreign group companies
As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of 
overseas subsidiaries are translated into Australian dollars 
at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date 
and the income statement is translated at the average 
exchange rates for the period. The exchange differences 
arising on the translation are recognised in the foreign 
currency translation reserve within equity.

When a foreign operation is sold, the cumulative  
exchange difference in equity for this operation 
is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income as part  
of the gain and loss on sale.

Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded 
in the functional currency of the relevant entity at the 
exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. 
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign 
currencies are subsequently translated at the rate 
of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

Exchange differences arising are recognised in the 
consolidated statement of profit and loss and other 
comprehensive income, except for gains or losses arising 
on assets or liabilities that qualify for hedge accounting, 
discussed further in note 24.

Tax charges and credits attributable to these exchange 
differences are also recognised in equity.

Average exchange rates used in translating profit and loss 
items in F21 are:

A$1 = US$ 0.747 (F20: US$ 0.671) 
A$1 = GB£ 0.555 (F20: GB£ 0.553)

Year-end exchange rates used in translating financial 
position items in F21 are:

A$1 = US$ 0.751 (F20: US$ 0.687) 
A$1 = GB£ 0.543 (F20: GB£ 0.558)

Fair value measurement
The Group measures certain financial instruments, 
including derivatives, and certain non-financial assets 
such as agricultural assets, at fair value at each balance 
sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an 
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between market participants in its principal or most 
advantageous market at the measurement date. It is 
measured using the assumptions that market participants 
would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming 
that market participants act in their economic best 
interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial  
item assumes it is put to its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate 
in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is 
available to measure fair value, maximising the use of 
relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of 
unobservable inputs.

Accounting standards prescribe a fair value hierarchy, 
described as follows, based on the lowest level input that 
is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active 
markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest  
level input that is significant to the fair value  
measurement is directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly  
(i.e. derived by prices) observable.

Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level 
input that is significant to the fair value measurement 
is unobservable.

Subsequent events
Since the end of the financial year, the Directors approved 
a final 100% franked dividend of 13.0 cents per share. 
This dividend has not been recognised as a liability  
in the consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2021.

The Directors are not aware of any other matters or 
circumstances that have arisen since the end of the 
financial year which have significantly affected or  
may significantly affect the operations of the Group,  
the results of those operations or the state of affairs  
of the Group in subsequent financial years.

80 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021

Segment accounting policies

Segment assets and liabilities
Segment assets and liabilities represent those working 
capital and non-current assets and liabilities which  
are located in the respective segments. Cash and 
borrowings, other than lease liabilities, are not 
considered to be segment assets/liabilities as they  
are managed by our centralised treasury function. 
Consistent with the use of EBITS for measuring profit,  
tax assets and liabilities, which do not contribute 
towards EBITS, are not allocated to operating segments.

Intersegment transactions
The price of an intersegment transaction is set at  
an arm’s length basis. Whilst these transactions are 
eliminated on consolidation, they are shown within  
the segment revenue and EBITS to properly reflect the 
segment of origin performance, including production.

Corporate charges
Unallocated corporate charges are reported in the 
Corporate/unallocated segment. Net finance costs  
are not allocated to segments as the Group’s financing 
function is centralised through its treasury function.

Segment loans payable and loans receivable
Segment loans are initially recognised at the amount 
transferred. Intersegment loans receivable and payable 
that earn or incur non-market interest are adjusted 
to fair value based on market interest rates.

Other
If items of revenue and expense are not allocated  
to operating segments, then any associated assets 
and liabilities are not allocated to segments either.

NOTE 2 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group’s segments
The Group reports segment information on the same 
basis as its internal management reporting structure  
and consistent with the information used to organise  
and manage the Group.

The reportable segments are based on the aggregation 
of operating segments determined by the similarity of the 
nature of products, the production process, the types of 
customers and the methods used to distribute the products.

Presentation of segment results
Management EBITS
The principal profit metric for internal management 
reporting is Management earnings before interest, tax, 
SGARA and material items (EBITS). Corporate charges  
are allocated to each segment on a proportionate  
basis linked to segment revenue, head count or other 
appropriate driver depending on the nature of the charge.

SGARA represents the difference between the fair value 
of harvested grapes (as determined under AASB 141 
Agriculture) and the cost of harvested grapes. The fair 
value gain or loss is excluded from Management EBITS 
so that earnings can be assessed based on the cost 
of harvest, rather than their fair value. This approach 
results in a better reflection of the true nature of TWE’s 
consumer branded and FMCG business and improved 
comparability with domestic and global peers. The F21 
SGARA gain of $9.4 million reflects gains from the high 
yielding 2021 Australian vintage and the unwinding of prior 
period losses, partly offset by the impact of a significant 
reduction in tonnage and yield from the 2020 Californian 
vintage which result in a loss of $24.0 million.

The identified reportable segments in the Group  
are below:

(i)  Australia and New Zealand (ANZ)

This segment is responsible for the manufacture,  
sale and marketing of wine within Australia and  
New Zealand.

(ii)  Europe, Middle, East and Africa (EMEA)

This segment is responsible for the manufacture,  
sale and marketing of wine within Europe and Middle, 
East and Africa.

(iii)  Americas

This segment is responsible for the manufacture,  
sale and marketing of wine within North America  
and Latin America.

(iv)  Asia

This segment is responsible for the sale and  
marketing of wine within Asia.

1.  Net sales revenue is net of trade discounts and volume rebates.

Net sales revenue – types of products
The Group generates revenue through the sale of branded wines, principally as a finished, bottled product. The Group’s 
wine portfolio includes some of the world’s leading Luxury, Premium and Commercial wine brands such as Penfolds, 
Beringer, Lindeman’s, Wolf Blass, 19 Crimes, Chateau St Jean, Beaulieu Vineyard, Sterling Vineyards and Stags’ Leap.

The Group distributes wine to a range of customers across the world, with routes to market tailored by country.  
Depending on the geography, wine is sold to distributors, wholesalers, direct to national retail chains, independent 
retailers and on-premise outlets. The Group also has some sales direct to the consumer.

1. 

 Reported results restated for changes to accounting policies. Refer to note 32.

84 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021

NOTE 3 – REVENUE (CONTINUED)

Other revenue
The Group provides contract bottling services to third parties.

In F21 other revenue includes $14.8 million of insurance income in relation to damage caused by wildfires in the Americas 
– refer to note 4 for details.

In F21 other revenue also includes revenue recognised for the sale of inventory to The Wine Group as part of the exit  
of commercial brands in the Americas.

Sales approach
For F21, the Group had one major customer in the Americas whose revenues represented 8.7% (F20: 8.7%) of reported  
net sales revenue, and one major customer in Australia whose revenue represented 8.1% (F20: 7.8%) of reported net  
sales revenue.

Financing components
The Group does not have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised product or services  
to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. Consequently, the Group does not adjust any of the 
transaction prices for the time value of money.

Accounting policies
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts 
collected on behalf of third parties. The Group’s contracts with customers generally include one performance obligation. 
Revenue from the sale of products or services is recognised at the point in time when control over a product or service is 
transferred to the customer, generally on delivery. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control over a product 
or service to a customer. Revenue is recorded net of sales discounts and rebates, duties and taxes. Payment terms vary 
by customer. The following specific criteria are also applied:

Wine
Revenue is recognised in a manner that depicts transfer of control of goods to customers at the amount that reflects 
consideration the business expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Sales to national retail chains, 
domestic distributors, independent retailers and on-premise outlets are usually recognised when goods are delivered. 
Sales to international customers are recognised based on the international commercial terms the goods are shipped 
under, but typically when goods are despatched. This is also the case for some national retail chains that manage 
their own distribution networks.

Bottling services
Revenue is recognised when the relevant service has been completed.

Key estimate and judgement:

Trade discounts and volume rebates
Products are often sold with volume discounts and other rebates. Sales are recorded based on the consideration specified 
in the sales contracts or terms, net of the estimated discount or rebate at the time of sale. These discounts or rebates are 
considered variable consideration and are accounted for in determining the transaction price of a contract. The method 
used by the Group to estimate discounts and rebates is the most likely amount. Accumulated experience is used to estimate 
and provide for the discounts and rebates based on anticipated purchases and depletions.

Other receivables include $42.1 million receivable under the Group’s insurance policies in connection with a winery and 
vineyards that were damaged by wildfires in the Americas in F21. Refer to note 4 for further details.

Inventories of wine stocks are classified between current and non-current based on sales projections for the ensuing year. 
Inventories recognised as an expense during the year and included in cost of sales amounted to $1,397.5 million 
(F20: $1,511.7 million). In F21, the write-down of inventories to net realisable value amounted to $63.7 million (F20: $21.0 million). 
Of this amount $11.0 million was recognised in material items relating to the divestment of US brands and assets –  
refer note 5. A further $5.6 million relates to inventory written off as a result of damage caused by wildfires in the Americas,  
the value of which has been recovered under the Group’s insurance policies.

Reversals of write-downs amounted to $1.0 million (F20: $1.2 million). These amounts are included in cost of sales.

90 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021

NOTE 9 – WORKING CAPITAL (CONTINUED)

Accounting policies

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, cash in transit, short-term 
deposits and investments with maturities of three months or less.

Cash assets and cash liabilities are offset and presented as a net amount in the consolidated statement of financial 
position when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset or intent to settle on a net basis.

For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are disclosed net 
of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at invoice value (fair value) and subsequently measured at amortised cost, 
less an allowance for expected credit losses.

Credit terms are generally between 30 – 120 days depending on the nature of the transaction. Expected credit losses 
are calculated by utilising a provision matrix where loss rates are calculated based on days past due for groupings 
of various customer segments that have similar loss patterns (for example geography, product type and rating). 
The provision matrix is initially determined by the Group’s historical observed loss rates and calibrated for forward 
looking information. Loss rates will be updated at each reporting date based on changes in observed default rates 
and changes in forward looking information.

Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of their cost (using average or FIFO basis) or estimated net realisable value.

The cost of raw materials is their purchase price or, in the case of grapes sourced from Group owned vineyards,  
fair value (see note 12 for further details). The cost of manufactured goods is determined on a consistent basis and 
is made up of the raw materials and direct labour used in manufacture. It also includes other direct costs and related 
production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs  
of completion and estimated costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables including accruals are recorded when the Group is required to make future payments  
as a result of purchases of goods or services. Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost.

Key estimates and judgements:

Trade discounts and volume rebates
Key estimates relate to the amount accrued for discounts and rebates. Products are often sold with trade discounts and 
volume rebates. Sales are recorded based on the price specified in the sales contracts or terms, net of the estimated 
discount or rebate at the time of sale. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts and 
rebates based on anticipated purchases and depletions.

Net realisable value of inventory
The period over which some wine inventories are converted from raw materials to finished goods can be a significant 
length of time. Failure to forecast demand effectively may result in excess inventories or missed revenue opportunities.

Forecast demand and market prices can vary significantly over the holding period up to the likely date of sale.  
Estimating the most likely conditions at the expected point of sale is therefore more challenging over the longer term. 
Non-current inventory is $1,056.8 million (F20: $1,059.2 million) and its estimated selling price is therefore a key estimate.

Included within plant and equipment are ‘Projects in Progress’ of $163.1 million (F20: $128.2 million), which are assets under 
construction and therefore not yet depreciated. The cost of construction includes the cost of materials used in construction, 
direct labour on the project, and an allocation of overheads. The Group recognised $7.8 million write-downs (F20: $6.0 million 
write-downs) for property, plant and equipment during the year.

Accounting policies
Property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost and then reduced by accumulated depreciation and any 
impairment losses.

Plant and equipment is depreciated so that the assets are written down to their residual value over their useful lives, 
using a reducing balance or straight-line method depending on the nature of the asset. Assets that relate to leases 
are written-off over the period of the lease or useful life, whichever is the shorter. Residual values, useful lives and 
amortisation methods are reviewed annually and adjusted when required.

Depreciation expense is included in ‘costs of sales’, ‘selling expenses’ and ‘administration expenses’ in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The depreciation rates used for each class of asset are as follows:

Freehold buildings 
Leasehold buildings 
Plant and equipment 

1.5% – 10.0% 
10.0% – 20.0% 
3.3% – 40.0%

Costs incurred in maintaining agricultural assets are recognised as an expense as incurred.

Derecognition and disposal
When an asset is sold, scrapped or is no longer of use to the business it is derecognised. Any gain or loss arising 
on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds and the carrying amount  
of the asset) is recorded in the period the asset is derecognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss  
and other comprehensive income.

NOTE 11 – RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

The Group has leases for vineyards, buildings, equipment and motor vehicles. The Group’s lease arrangements have 
durations up to 25 years but may have extension options as described in (d) below.

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and 
short-term leases, including IT equipment and oak barrels. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with 
these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(d) Extension options
Some property and vineyard leases contain extension options exercisable by the Group up to the end of the non-cancellable 
contract period. These options are used to provide operational flexibility across the Group. The extension options held  
are exercisable only by the Group and not the lessors. The Group has estimated that the potential future lease payments, 
should it exercise the extension option, would result in an increase lease liability of $798.8 million (F20: $811.0 million).

(e) Variable lease payments
Certain contractual arrangements may contain both lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components are 
distinct elements of a contract that are not related to securing the use of the leased asset, such as inventory, common 
area maintenance, and other management costs. The Group has elected to measure the amount disclosed in relation 
to variable leases for these arrangements by combining the lease and non-lease components.

Certain leases include variable lease payments, including payments that depend on an index or rate, as well as variable 
payments for items such as grapes, labour, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other operating expenses 
associated with leased assets. Certain grape purchasing arrangements include variable payments based on actual 
tonnage and price of grapes that will vary depending on certain factors, including weather, time of harvest, overall market 
conditions, and the agricultural practices and location of the vineyard. Such variable lease payments are excluded from 
the calculation of the right-of-use asset and are recognised in the period in which the obligation is incurred.

Accounting policies
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, 
a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for 
consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses 
the definition of a lease in AASB 16 Leases.

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use 
asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease 
payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs  
to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located,  
less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date  
to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the  
end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option.  
In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined  
on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically 
reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the 
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily 
determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing 
sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.

94 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021

NOTE 11 – RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Accounting policies (continued)
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

•  fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

•  variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the 

commencement date;

•  amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

•  the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments  

in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties  
for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when  
there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the  
Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes  
its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised  
in-substance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount  
of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been 
reduced to zero.

The Group presents right-of-use assets as ‘right-of-use assets’ and lease liabilities in ‘borrowings’ in the consolidated 
statement of financial position.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and 
short-term leases, including IT equipment and oak barrels. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with 
these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Key estimates and judgements:

Right-of-use assets
The Group has applied judgement in determining the interest rates used in the discount rate and in determining the  
term of a lease, which is based on the likelihood of the Group’s ability to renew the lease and having regard for terms 
equivalent to those that currently exit.

Grape growing and sourcing
The Group has a variety of sources of fruit including owned and leased vineyards, contracted growers and the bulk  
wine market.

This approach provides flexibility through the economic cycle and assists with managing the risks arising from agricultural 
factors beyond the Group’s control such as pests, disease and extreme weather conditions.

The Group’s owned vineyards ensure access to super premium fruit from key viticultural regions including the Barossa Valley 
and Coonawarra in Australia, Marlborough in New Zealand and the Napa and Sonoma Valleys in California. These vineyards 
contribute to some of the Group’s most prestigious wines.

Accounting policies
The agricultural assets of the Group (i.e. grapes) are measured at their fair value, less estimated point of sale costs.

The fair value adjustment during the year is recognised within ‘Other expenses’ in the consolidated statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income.

Harvested grapes are transferred to inventory initially at fair value and are then subsequently accounted for in the cost 
of inventory (see note 9).

Fair value determination
The valuations of agricultural assets are Level 2 fair value measurements under the Group’s accounting policy 
(see note 1), with the principal inputs being:

Grapes prior to harvest
Estimated based on the expected yields per hectare, estimated harvest costs and the anticipated market price 
of grapes.

Harvested grapes
Determined by reference to the weighted district average of grape prices for each region for the current vintage.  
Prices vary with the grade quality of grapes produced in each region.

Key estimate and judgement:

Fair value of grapes
Key to estimating the value of grapes is the following:

•  Yield estimates;

•  The estimated harvest costs;

•  Market prices for grapes; or

•  The quality of grapes, including the impacts on harvested grapes of weather, agricultural practices and location  

of the vineyard.

For the year ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 13 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Key estimate and judgement:

Useful life of brand names
In assessing whether a brand has a finite or indefinite useful life, the Group makes use of information on the long-term 
strategy for the brand, the level of growth or decline of the markets that the brand operates in, the history of the market 
and the brand’s position within that market.

If a brand is assessed to have a finite life, the Group will use judgement in determining the useful life of the brand 
including the period over which expected cash flows will continue to be derived in making that decision.

Accounting policies

Brand names and licences
Brand names are recognised as assets when purchased individually and (primarily) as part of the allocation of the 
purchase price when the Group acquires other businesses. Internally generated brand names are not capitalised  
and expenditure incurred in developing, maintaining or enhancing brand names is charged to profit or loss in the  
year incurred.

Brand names are initially recognised at cost when purchased individually and at fair value when acquired with 
a business. This fair value is determined by reference to independent valuations.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any 
accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of businesses and represents the difference between the purchase price and share 
of the net assets of the acquired business, recorded at fair value.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not 
amortised but is tested for impairment at least annually (see note 15).

IT development and software
Other than in relation to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangement, costs incurred in developing information 
technology (IT) products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and multi-year licenses are capitalised 
as intangible IT assets. They include the cost of purchased software and internal labour and contractors used in the 
development of software.

IT assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and are amortised over their expected useful life  
(2-10 years) on a straight-line basis. Amortisation is included in ‘Other expenses’ in the consolidated statement  
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

SaaS arrangements are service contracts providing the Group with the right to access the cloud provider’s  
application software over the contract period. The following outlines the accounting treatment of implementation 
costs incurred in relation to SaaS arrangements:

Recognise as an operating expense  
over the term of the service contract

•  Fee for use of application software

•  Customisation costs only when  
‘not distinct’ and undertaken  
by SaaS vendor

Recognise as an operating expense  
as the service is received

•  Configuration costs

•  Data conversion and testing

•  Testing costs

•  Training costs

Costs incurred for the development of software code that enhances or modifies, or creates additional capability to, 
existing on-premise systems and meets the definition of and recognition criteria for an intangible asset are recognised 
as intangible IT assets.

Assets held for sale comprise property, plant and equipment and related deferred tax assets and liabilities identified 
by the Group to be recovered through sale.

Management are committed to a plan to sell a number of surplus assets in America and ANZ, including vineyards and 
wine making facilities, related property, plant and equipment, inventory and intangible assets. Accordingly, the vineyards 
and facilities have been presented as disposal groups held for sale.

Impairment losses relating to the disposal group
Impairment losses of $6.6 million (F20: Nil) for the write down of the disposal group to the lower of its carrying amount  
and its fair value less costs to sell have been included in ‘other expenses’ in the consolidated statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income. Refer to note 4 for other earnings disclosures.

Accounting policies
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their value will be recovered principally through their sale,  
rather than through ongoing use within the business.

Assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. They are valued at the lower  
of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell with an impairment loss recognised for any difference.  
A gain is recognised for any subsequent increase in value, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss 
previously recognised. Any gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset  
is recognised at that point. The fair values of the assets based on independent market appraisals exceed the  
assets’ carrying values.

TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 – 99

Notes to the consolidated financial statements:
Operating assets and liabilities
For the year ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 15 – IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

In F21 the recoverable amounts of cash generating units (CGUs) exceed their carrying values and as a result no impairment 
has been recognised (F20: Nil). There were no indications that previously recognised impairment losses should be reversed 
(F20: Nil). The recoverable amount was determined through a value in use calculation. The write down of assets disclosed 
in note 4 relate to assets for which their valuation was tested independently of the CGUs in accordance with other 
accounting policies.

The Group’s CGUs are consistent with the prior period and are:

•  Americas;

•  Europe; and

•  Australia and New Zealand (ANZ).

Accounting policies

Timing of Impairment Testing
The Group tests property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for impairment:

•  At least annually for goodwill and indefinite life brands; and

•  Where there are indications that an asset may be impaired; or

•  Where there is an indication that previously recognised impairments may have changed.

Impairment losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Approach to Impairment Testing
If the asset does not generate independent cash inflows and its value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair 
value, the asset is tested for impairment as part of the CGU to which it belongs.

When an asset’s (or CGU’s) carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, it is impaired. Recoverable amount is the 
higher of the asset’s (or CGU’s) fair value less costs of disposal or value in use.

Fair value is determined in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 1.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate 
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

Reversals of Impairment
If there is an indicator that a previously recognised impairment loss no longer exists or has decreased, recoverable 
amount is estimated. If there has been a change in the estimates used to determine an asset’s recoverable amount 
since an impairment loss was recognised, the carrying value of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount 
(limited to the amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been 
recognised for the asset in prior years).

Any reversal is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income with an 
adjustment to depreciation in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying value, less any residual value,  
on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. The Group does not reverse impairments recognised for goodwill.

100 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021

NOTE 15 – IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Key estimate and judgement:

Impairment testing key assumptions
The Group has estimated recoverable amount based on value in use at 30 June 2021. Key estimates and judgements include:

Cash flow forecasts
Cash flow forecasts are based on the Group’s most recent five-year financial plans approved by the Board. 
Key assumptions in the cash flow forecasts include sales volume growth, cost of sales and cost of doing business.

The Group’s assumptions regarding sales volume growth and costs of doing business are based on expectations of the 
market demand and past experience. The assumption on cost of sales is based on expectation about future vintage 
costs which assume continuity of sourcing and access to fruit.

These estimates, judgements and assumptions are based on forecasts of economic conditions which reflect expectations 
and assumptions as at 30 June 2021 about future events that the Directors believe are reasonable in the circumstances.

Long-term growth rates
Cash flow forecasts beyond a five-year period are extrapolated using a growth rate range of 2.0% to 3.0% (F20: 2.0% to 3.0%). 
Growth rates are specific to individual CGUs and reflect expected future market and economic conditions.

Discount rates
The Group applies a post-tax discount rate to post-tax cash flows as the valuation calculated using this method  
closely approximates applying pre-tax discount rates to pre-tax cash flows. The post-tax discount rates incorporate 
a risk-adjustment relative to the risks associated with the net post-tax cash flows being achieved. The following pre-tax 
discount rates were applied:

Americas

Europe

ANZ

2021

9.6%

8.4%

10.4%

2020

9.4%

9.5%

11.0%

Exchange rates
Cash flow forecasts in foreign currency are forecast in that currency and discounted using the applicable regional 
discount rates (predominantly USD and GBP).

Sensitivity analysis
Increases in discount rates or changes in other key assumptions, such as operating conditions or financial performance, 
may cause the recoverable amount to fall below carrying values.

Based on current economic conditions and CGU performance, there are no reasonably possible changes to key 
assumptions used in the determination of CGU recoverable amounts that would result in an impairment to the Group.

Other provisions include $35.9 million in relation to estimated repair costs for a winery and vineyards that were damaged 
by wildfires in the Americas. Refer to note 4 for further details.

Onerous contract provisions are held for IT infrastructure and service contracts that have been identified as being  
surplus to the Group’s needs. The restructuring provision comprises costs in relation to the Group’s rationalisation and 
restructure program.

Accounting policies
Provisions are recognised for present obligations (legal, equitable or constructive) to make future payments (or other 
transfer of value) to other entities due to past transactions or events. They are recognised only when it is probable the 
liability will arise and when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount.

If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash 
flows at a pre-tax risk-free rate plus, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used,  
the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Employee entitlements
Liabilities for employees’ entitlements to wages and salaries, annual leave and other current employee entitlements 
(that are expected to be paid within 12 months) are measured at amounts expected to be paid as at the reporting date.

Liabilities for other employee entitlements, which are not expected to be paid or settled within 12 months of reporting 
date, are accrued in respect of all employees at the present value of future amounts expected to be paid.

Restructuring
Restructuring provisions are recognised at the point when a detailed plan for the restructure has been developed and 
implementation has commenced. The cost of restructuring provided is the estimated future cash flows, discounted  
at the appropriate rate which reflects the risks of the cash flow.

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever  
an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits 
when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of a current employee according to a detailed 
formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or upon the provision of an offer to encourage voluntary redundancy.

Onerous contracts
Onerous contracts are measured at the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net 
cost of continuing with the contract (discounted to present value if material).

Capital structure
For the year ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 17 – CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group considers capital to be the combination of shareholders’ equity, reserves and net debt. The key objectives  
of the Group’s approach to capital management include:

•  Safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;

•  Maintaining a credit profile and the requisite financial metrics that secures access to funding with a spread of maturity 

dates and sufficient undrawn committed facility capacity;

•  Optimising over the long term, and to the extent practicable, the weighted average cost of capital to reduce the Group’s 

cost of capital while maintaining financial flexibility; and

•  To provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders.

In order to optimise the Group’s capital structure and in line with the Group’s strategic objectives and operating plans,  
the Company may:

•  Alter the amount of dividends paid to shareholders;

•  Return capital to shareholders;

•  Issue new shares;

•  Vary discretionary capital expenditure;

•  Draw-down additional debt; or

•  Sell assets to reduce debt.

Various financial ratios and internal targets are assessed and reported to the Board on a regular basis by management 
to monitor and support the key objectives set out above. These ratios and targets include:

•  An earnings to net interest expense ratio;

•  A total net indebtedness to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and self-generating and 

regenerating assets ratio; and

•  Group debt maturity profile.

Details of major arrangements
US Private Placement Notes and Debt Facilities
US Private Placement (USPP) notes totalling US$325.0 million (unsecured) are outstanding, with maturities ranging from 
December 2023 to June 2029. The carrying value of USPP notes at 30 June 2021 is $432.7 million (F20: $581.9 million).

During the year a US$200 million of syndicated debt facility originally maturing in October 2021 was cancelled. Syndicated 
debt facilities now total US$350 million with US$120 million maturing November 2023 and US$230 million maturing in 
November 2027. At 30 June 2021 syndicated facilities of US$350m are drawn against the November 2023 and 2027 tranches. 
The carrying value of the syndicated debt facility at 30 June 2021 is $466.0 million (F20: $509.2 million).

The Group has in place several revolving bank debt facilities with maturities staggered through to June 2025.  
As at 30 June 2021 there are no amounts drawn under the revolving bank debt facilities (F20: $100.0 million).

USPP notes bear interest at fixed and floating interest rates. In accordance with the Group’s risk management strategy,  
the Group has entered into a combination of fixed to floating and floating to fixed interest rate swaps to obtain the desired 
fixed/floating interest ratio, with interest rate collars also used to manage interest rate risk. Refer to note 24 for further details.

Financial guarantees
The Group has issued financial guarantees to other persons of $23.5 million (F20: $23.4 million) that could be called upon at 
any time in the event of a breach of the Group’s financial obligations. No payments are expected to eventuate under these 
financial guarantees as the Group expects to meet its respective obligations to the beneficiaries of these guarantees.

Lease liabilities
The Group enters into Lease arrangements that meet the capitalisation requirements under AASB 16 Leases. Current and 
non-current lease liabilities are recognised for the present value of the lease payments due under the lease contracts 
and are represented as borrowings.

At 30 June 2021, the Group recognised current lease liabilities of $54.8 million (30 June 2020: $56.1 million) and non-current 
lease liabilities of $557.8 million (30 June 2020: $642.5 million). The Group’s lease arrangements have durations up to 25 years.

Receivables purchasing agreement
The Group has entered into an uncommitted non-recourse receivable purchasing agreement to sell certain domestic and 
international receivables, from time to time, to an unrelated entity in exchange for cash. As at 30 June 2021, nil receivables 
had been derecognised under this arrangement (F20: $26.8 million).

Accounting policies
Borrowings are initially recorded at fair value of the consideration received, net of directly attributable costs.

After initial recognition, borrowings are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 
Amortised cost is calculated by considering any issue costs, and any discount or premium on issuance.  
Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income if borrowings  
are derecognised.

The Group engages a third party to purchase shares in the Company to be used to satisfy share-based payment 
obligations upon vesting under the Group’s Employee Equity Plans. Historically, such commitments were satisfied  
by way of treasury share purchases (i.e. the Group acquiring shares on market directly). There are no treasury shares  
held at 30 June 2021.

During the period, the Group purchased 0.3 million shares ($2.8 million) under the third-party arrangement  
(F20: 0.3 million shares ($4.9 million)). A total of 0.1 million shares (F20: 0.2 million) purchased under the third-party 
arrangement are available at 30 June 2021. Nil treasury shares (F20: Nil) are available at 30 June 2021.

The Group operates equity plans as outlined below:
STIP Restricted Equity
One-third of earned STIP is delivered in the form of deferred equity (Restricted Shares). The key terms of this award are:

•  Subject to a mandatory restriction period and continued employment. Half of the award is restricted for one year  

and the remaining half for two years from grant date;

•  Holders of Restricted Shares are entitled to dividends and to exercise their voting rights during the restriction;

•  Will generally be forfeited if the executive is dismissed for cause or resigns. Clawback mechanisms apply.

LTIP
Under the LTIP certain employees receive Performance Rights which entitle participants to receive the Company’s shares 
at no cost subject to the achievement of performance conditions and continued employment. No dividends are payable 
to participants prior to vesting. The performance conditions are:

•  Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR)

•  Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) growth

•  Will generally be forfeited if the executive is dismissed for cause or resigns. Clawback mechanisms apply.

The F19 – F21 performance rights are subject to TSR and ROCE targets weighted of 25% for TSR and 75% for ROCE over 
a performance period of 3 years. The TSR and ROCE measures for the F19 plan were not met in F21 resulting in Nil vesting.

Mid-term Incentive Plan (MTIP)
The Group awarded an MTIP grant in F20 and F21. Under the MTIP certain employees receive Performance Rights which 
entitle the participant to receive shares at no cost subject to the achievement of performance conditions and continuing 
employment. The F20 and F21 plans have two equal vesting conditions: time-based (50%) and ROCE growth (50%). For the 
time-based conditions half vest in 1-year (25%) and half in 2-years (25%). The ROCE measure for the F20 MTIP Plan was not 
met in F21 resulting in Nil vesting.

Restricted Equity Plan (REP)
Under the REP certain employees receive a grant of restricted equity awards in the form of Restricted Shares. If Restricted 
Shares cannot be awarded (e.g. due to country specific regulation) Deferred Share Rights are granted. The award is at 
no cost to the employee and is subject to a restriction period. Restricted equity awards require continued employment 
with the Group through the restriction period. Other terms are similar to the STIP terms above.

Restricted equity awards may be granted to compensate employees for foregoing equity compensation in their previous 
organisation as a sign-on award and/or as a retention incentive.

Share Cellar (broad-based Employee Share Plan)
Share Cellar is the Group’s broad-based Employee Share Plan and plan participation is offered annually. The plan was 
first launched early in 2015. Participation is voluntary and employees in select countries are eligible to join the Plan.  
Share Cellar operates as a matching plan whereby employees contribute funds to the Plan from their after-tax pay  
and shares are acquired by the Group on their behalf. In the plans operating from 2015 to 2018, for every two purchased 
shares that a participant holds at the vesting date (approximately two years) the Group delivers one matched share, 
subject to continued employment. For employees enrolling in the 2020 and 2021 plans, the Group will deliver one matched 
share for every purchased share held at the plan vesting date, subject to continued employment.

Participants are entitled to dividends and to exercise voting rights attached to the shares purchased under the plan,  
and matched shares once they have been allocated.

106 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021

NOTE 22 – EMPLOYEE EQUITY PLANS (CONTINUED)

Accounting policies
Employee equity plans are accounted for as share based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange 
for the awards. The fair value of the shares and performance rights that are expected to vest is progressively recognised 
as an employee benefits expense over the relevant vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity.

The fair value of shares granted is determined by reference to observed market values. The fair value of the TSR component 
of performance rights is independently determined at grant date by an external valuer using a Monte-Carlo simulation. 
For the non-market components (ROCE), the fair value is independently determined based on the share price less the 
present value of dividends.

Non-market performance conditions do not impact the value of shares and performance rights, but rather the 
estimate of the number of shares to vest.

At each reporting date the Company revises the estimate of the number of shares and the non-market component 
of performance rights that are expected to vest, and the employee benefits expense recognised each period 
incorporates this change in estimate.

An expense is recognised for the TSR component of performance rights whether or not the TSR hurdle is met.  
No expense is recognised if these rights do not vest due to cessation of employment. No expense is recognised  
for shares and non-market components of performance rights that do not ultimately vest.

Unrecognised tax assets
There are potential future income tax benefits relating to accumulated losses in non-Australian group companies,  
which have not been brought to account. These possible benefits amount to $39.2 million (F20: $38.1 million).

The Group has carry forward capital tax losses in Australia and the UK respectively. These losses may be used to offset 
any future capital gains derived by activities in these countries. The Group will assess the conditions for deductibility 
imposed by the tax laws of Australia and the UK prior to any utilisation of the capital losses.

Ongoing tax audits
The Group is subject to ongoing tax audits by taxation authorities in several jurisdictions covering a variety of taxes. 
The Group fully cooperates with these enquiries as and when they arise.

Franking credits
The Australian Tax Consolidation Group has $119.7 million (F20: $86.7 million) of franking credits available for subsequent 
reporting periods.

UK corporation tax rate
On 3 March 2021, the UK Government announced that from 1 April 2023, the Corporation Tax main rate for non-ring fenced 
profits will be increased to 25% applying to profits over £250,000. The change was introduced in Finance Bill 2021 which was 
published on 11 March 2021. Following the substantive enactment of Finance Bill 2021, the Group remeasured the deferred tax 
assets and liabilities of its UK operations using the new tax rate and recognised a one-off charge of $6.2 million.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements:
Taxation
For the year ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 23 – INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)

Key estimate and judgement:

Taxation
The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations. Significant judgement 
is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations 
undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Where the final 
tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the 
current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Accounting policies

Current taxes
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or paid to, taxation 
authorities at the tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred taxes
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets  
are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carried forward unused tax assets and unused tax losses, 
to the extent it is probable that they will be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent  
that it will become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that 
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to utilise them.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when 
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences at balance sheet date between accounting carrying 
amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, other than for:

•  The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time  

of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss or on the recognition of goodwill.

•  Foreign taxes which may arise in the event of retained profits of foreign controlled entities being remitted to Australia 

as there is no present intention to make any such remittances.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities associated with indefinite life intangibles such as brand names are 
measured based on the tax consequences that would follow from the use and sale of that asset.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Offsetting deferred tax balances
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax 
assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and  
the same taxation authority.

Risk
For the year ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 24 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial risk management framework
The Group’s financial risk management policies (‘Group Treasury Policies’) cover risk tolerance, internal controls 
(including segregation of duties), delegated authority levels, management of foreign currency, interest rate and 
counterparty credit exposures, and the reporting of exposures. These policies are reviewed at least annually  
and approved by the Board of Directors.

The centralised Group Treasury function has been delegated operational responsibility for the identification and 
management of financial risks.

The Group holds financial instruments from financing (principally borrowings), transactions (trade receivables and 
payables) and risk management (derivatives) which result in exposure to the following financial risks, covered by the 
Group Treasury Policies:

•  Liquidity risk;

•  Interest rate risk;

•  Foreign exchange risk; and

•  Counterparty credit risk.

(a) Liquidity risk
Nature of the risk
The Group is exposed to liquidity risk primarily from its core operating activities. The Group’s focus is to ensure it is able 
to meet financial obligations as and when they fall due.

Risk management
The Group ensures the maintenance, at all times, of an appropriate minimum level of liquidity, comprising committed, 
unutilised debt facilities and cash resources. To facilitate this, the Group monitors forecast and actual cash flows, 
performs sensitivity analysis as well as monitoring the availability and cost of debt and equity funding.

The Group’s objective is to balance continuity of funding and flexibility by maintaining an appropriately structured debt 
maturity profile with a mix of bank and capital (bond) market debt, whilst also monitoring compliance with the Group’s 
key financial covenants and undertakings.

At reporting date, the standby arrangements and unused credit facilities are as follows:

Committed facilities

Available facilities

Amounts utilised

Amount unutilised

The Group is in compliance with all undertakings under its various financing arrangements.

against capitalised facility finance costs of $5.6 million (F20: $6.6 million) to be amortised over the facility period.

(b) Interest rate risk
Nature of the risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk principally from floating rate bank borrowings. Other sources of interest rate risk 
include receivable purchasing agreements, interest-bearing investments, creditors’ accounts offering a discount and 
debtors’ accounts on which discounts are offered.

Risk management
We manage interest rate risk by ensuring that the sensitivity of forecast future earnings to changes in interest rates  
is within acceptable limits. This involves longer term forecasting of both expected earnings and expected borrowing  
to determine the tolerable exposure.

A combination of interest rate swaps have been exchanged to obtain the desired ratio of fixed and floating interest rates.  
At 30 June 2021, interest rate swap contracts were in use to exchange fixed interest rates to floating rates on $332.9 million 
(US$250.0 million) of US Private Placement notes. A combination of floating to fixed interest rate swaps and fixed interest 
rate caps have been used to exchange the floating rates to fixed on all US Private Placement notes (US$325 million). 
The swaps mature in December 2023, June 2027 and June 2029. Cross currency interest rate swaps are used to exchange 
floating USD interest on a portion of the USD syndicated debt facility of US$120 million into AUD fixed rate of $166.6 million 
with maturities in November 2023. Please refer note 24(a) for the profile and timing of cash flows over the next five years.

The movements in profit on a consolidated level are primarily a result of interest costs from borrowings. There would have 
been no significant impact on equity.

(c) Foreign exchange risk
Nature of the risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk through:

•  Transaction exposures including sales of wine into export markets and the purchase of production inputs, denominated 

in foreign currencies other than the respective functional currency of the specific Group entity;

•  Exposures arising from borrowings denominated in foreign currencies; and

•  Translation exposures including earnings of foreign subsidiaries and revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities, 

including borrowings.

The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are the Australian Dollar (AUD), United States Dollar 
(USD) and Great British Pound (GBP). Other currencies used include the Canadian Dollar, Euro, New Zealand Dollar, 
Singapore Dollar, Swedish Krona, Norwegian Krone, Chinese Renminbi and South African Rand.

Risk management
The focus of the Group’s foreign exchange risk management activities is on the transactional exposures arising from the 
sourcing and sale of wine.

A proportion of expenses are hedged over time up to a period of three years. The nominal amount and average hedge 
rate of the instruments in place at 30 June 2021 are disclosed in the following table.

In determining the amount of hedging required, the Group also considers the ‘natural hedges’ arising from the underlying 
net cash flows in the relevant currency, comprising operating, investing and financing cash flows.

(d) Credit risk
Nature of the risk
Counterparty credit risk arises primarily from the following assets:

•  Cash and cash equivalents;

•  Trade and other receivables; and

•  Derivative instruments.

Risk management
The Group’s counterparty credit risk management philosophy is to limit the Group’s loss from default by any one 
counterparty by dealing only with financial institution counterparties of good credit standing, setting maximum exposure 
limits for each counterparty, and taking a conservative approach to the calculation of counterparty credit limit usage. 
Where available, credit opinions on counterparties from two credit rating agencies are used to determine credit limits.

The Group assesses the credit quality of individual customers prior to offering credit terms and continues to monitor  
on a regular basis. Each customer is assigned a risk profile based upon the measurable risk indicators for dishonoured 
payments, adverse information and average days late along with the securities and guarantees held. All prospective 
accounts are required to complete a credit application and generally a director’s guarantee is required with minimal 
exceptions. Failure to provide a director’s guarantee results in either no credit or a limited level of credit offered. Credit 
terms may be reduced or extended for individual customers based on risk.

Past due accounts are subject to a number of collection activities which range from telephone contact, suspension  
of orders through to legal action. Past due accounts are reviewed monthly with specific focus on accounts that are 
greater than 90 days overdue. Where debt cannot be recovered, it is escalated from the credit representative to the  
credit manager to initiate recovery action.

For derivatives, the Group transacts under an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting 
agreement. If a credit event such as a default occurs, all outstanding transactions under an ISDA agreement are 
terminated, the termination value is assessed and only a single net amount is payable in settlement of all transactions.

COVID-19 considerations
In F21 the Group, as part of its normal monitoring of the credit quality of trade receivables, continued more frequent 
telephone contact and engagement with customers to understand customer trading and credit circumstances, and 
supporting them through any short-term challenges identified. The Group also increased the frequency of monitoring 
customer credit risk assessments across the entire customer portfolio. No customers were identified to be in financial 
distress and no bad debts have been written off in F21 as a result of COVID-19.

Level of exposure at balance date
The maximum counterparty credit risk exposure at 30 June 2021 in respect of derivative financial instruments was 
$4.5 million (F20: $13.9 million) and in respect of cash and cash equivalents was $125.0 million (F20: $109.6 million). 
The Group’s authorised counterparties are restricted to banks and financial institutions whose long-term credit rating  
is at or above a Standard and Poors rating of A- (or Moody’s equivalent rating of A3), with any exceptions requiring 
approval from the Board. Commercial paper investments are restricted to counterparties whose short-term credit  
rating is at or above a Standard and Poor’s rating of A-1 (or Moody’s equivalent rating of P-2). The magnitude of credit  
risk in relation to receivables is generally the carrying amount, net of any allowance for expected credit loss.

Trade receivables have been aged according to their due date. Terms may be extended on a temporary basis with the 
approval of management. The past due receivables shown above relate to customers who have a good debt history and 
are considered recoverable. There is no collateral held as security against the receivables above and there are no other 
receivables past due.

NOTE 25 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

At reporting date, there were $754.2 million (Australian dollar equivalent) net face value of outstanding foreign exchange 
contracts at contract rates (F20: $506.5 million), interest rate swaps of $665.7 million (F20: $654.7 million) and cross currency 
interest rate swaps of $159.8 million (F20: $174.6 million) and interest rate collars of $146.5 million (F20: $218.2 million).  
These instruments are regarded as Level 2 under AASB’s Fair Value measurement hierarchy.

NOTE 26 – FAIR VALUES

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, financial assets and most financial liabilities approximate their carrying 
value. The fair value of the US Private Placement Notes is $492.8 million (F20: $679.3 million) and the fair value of the 
syndicated debt facility is $500.0 million (F20: $530.3 million). There have been no reclassifications of financial assets  
from fair value to cost, or from cost or amortised cost to fair value during the year.

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based upon market prices, or models using inputs observed from 
the market, where markets exist or have been determined by discounting the expected future cash flows by the current 
interest rate for financial assets and financial liabilities with similar risk profiles (a Level 2 valuation).

The valuation of derivative financial assets and liabilities reflects the estimated amounts which the Group would be 
required to pay or receive to terminate the contracts (net of transaction costs) or replace the contracts at their current 
market rates at reporting date. This is based on internal valuations using standard valuation techniques.

As the purpose of these derivative financial instruments is to hedge the Group’s underlying assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies and to hedge against risk of interest rate fluctuations, it is unlikely in the absence 
of abnormal circumstances that these contracts would be terminated prior to maturity.

For all other recognised financial assets and financial liabilities, based on the facts and circumstances existing at reporting 
date and the nature of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities including hedge positions, the Group has  
no reason to believe that the financial assets could not be exchanged, or the financial liabilities could not be settled,  
in an arm’s length transaction at an amount approximating its carrying amount.

engagement with the Group has been carried out which would impair their independence as auditor. The Chairman of 
the Audit and Risk Committee has advised the Board that the Committee’s assessment is that the auditor is independent.

During the year, the following fees were paid or payable for services provided by the auditor of the Group, and its  
related practices:

IFRIC agenda decision Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement  
(IAS 38 Intangible Assets)
The International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) has issued two final agenda decisions 
which impact SaaS arrangements:

•  Customer’s right to receive access to the supplier’s software hosted on the cloud (March 2019) – this decision considers 
whether a customer receives a software asset at the contract commencement date or a service over the contract term.

•  Configuration or customisation costs in a cloud computing arrangement (April 2021) – this decision discusses whether 
configuration or customisation expenditure relating to SaaS arrangements can be recognised as an intangible asset 
and if not, over what time period the expenditure is expensed.

The adoption of the above agenda decisions has resulted in the immediate recognition of certain configuration and 
customisation costs as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, impacting prior periods presented. 
The new accounting policy is presented in Note 13.

Impact of adopting new policies
The below summarises the impact of adopting the new policies on the Group’s consolidated financial statements for those 
periods presented within the 30 June 2021 financial statements. Only restated lines have been included in the tables below.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF PROFIT OR LOSS AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (EXTRACT)

Operating profit has been restated to remove amortisation expense on previously capitalised intangible assets that do not 
meet the requirements of the IFRIC agenda decision, and to recognise previously capitalised costs incurred as an expense 
in the year that do not meet the requirements of the IFRIC agenda decision. Adjustments to tax are due to the change 
in profit before tax.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION (EXTRACT)

The Group derecognised previously capitalised intangible assets that do not meet the requirements of the IFRIC agenda 
decision. Deferred tax adjustments are due to timing differences arising from the derecognition of intangible assets.

For the year ended 30 June 2021

NOTE 32 – OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Other accounting policies

Finance income
Finance income is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which applies a rate that 
discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying 
amount of the financial asset.

Finance costs
Finance costs are recognised as an expense when they are incurred, except for interest charges attributable to major 
projects with substantial development and construction phases, which are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset.

Financial assets
A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensive income 
unless it meets the definition of amortised cost. This is determined on initial recognition.

Financial assets classified as at amortised cost are measured initially at fair value and adjusted in respect of any 
incremental and directly attributable transaction costs. All other financial assets are measured at fair value on initial 
recognition.

Reclassification occurs only if there are fundamental changes to the Group’s business model for managing  
financial assets.

Amortised cost
A financial asset is classified as at amortised cost only if the asset is held to collect contractual cash flows and the 
contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Any gains and losses are 
recognised through the amortisation process or when the financial asset is derecognised or impaired.

Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value 
through profit or loss. ECLs are determined using historical recovery of contractual cash flows and the amount of loss 
incurred, adjusted for current economic and credit conditions.

An impairment loss is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the 
contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original 
effective interest rate. Impairment losses on assets classified as amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss  
when they are expected, not when they are incurred. If a later event causes the impairment loss to decrease,  
the amount is reversed in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets
The derecognition of a financial asset takes place when the Group no longer controls the contractual rights that 
comprise the financial instrument.

This is normally the case when the instrument is sold or all the cash flows attributable to the instrument are passed 
through to an independent third party.

Derivatives
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency contracts, interest rate swaps and options 
to hedge its risks associated with interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments 
are carried at fair value and are financial assets when the fair value is positive and financial liabilities when the fair 
value is negative.

For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are 
taken directly to profit or loss for the year.

Hedge accounting
For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as either fair value hedges when they hedge the 
exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; cash flow hedges where they hedge exposure 
to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability 
or a forecasted transaction; or hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Initial recognition
At the beginning of a hedge relationship, the Group designates and documents the hedge relationship and the related 
risk management objective and strategy. The documentation identifies the hedging instrument and the hedged item 
as well as describing the economic relationship, the hedge ratio between them and potential sources of ineffectiveness. 
The documentation also includes the nature of the risk being hedged and the method of assessing the hedging 
instrument’s effectiveness. To achieve hedge accounting, the relationship must be expected to be highly effective  
and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they continue to meet the risk management objective.

126 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2021

NOTE 32 – OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Re-balancing
If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer met but the risk management objective remains 
unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the Group will rebalance the relationship 
by adjusting either the volume of the hedged item or the volume of the hedging instrument.

Discontinuation
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer 
qualifies for hedge accounting. At that point in time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised 
in equity is kept in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, 
the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to profit or loss for the year.

Gains or losses recognised directly in equity are reclassified into profit and loss in the same period or periods the 
foreign currency risk affects consolidated profit and loss.

Fair value hedges
For fair value hedges (for example, interest rate swaps), any gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument 
is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Where the adjustment 
is to the carrying amount of a hedged interest-bearing financial instrument, the adjustment is amortised to the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income such that it is fully amortised by maturity.

Cash flow hedges
In relation to cash flow hedges (forward foreign currency contracts) to hedge firm commitments, the portion of the 
gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in equity  
and the ineffective portion is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

When the hedged item gives rise to the recognition of an asset or a liability, the associated deferred gains or losses  
are included in the initial measurement of the asset or liability.

For all other cash flow hedges, the gains or losses that are recognised in equity are transferred to the statement  
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the same period in which the hedged firm commitment affects 
the profit and loss, for example when the future sale actually occurs.

NOTE 33 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

From time to time, Companies within the Group are party to various legal actions as well as inquiries from regulators and 
government bodies that have arisen in the normal course of business. The Directors have given consideration to such 
matters which are or may be subject to claims or litigation at year end and are of the opinion that that any liabilities 
arising over and above already provided in the financial statements from such action would not have a material effect 
on the Group’s financial performance.

It is not practical to estimate the potential effect of these matters however the Group believe that it is not probable that 
a significant liability will arise.

Class actions
Two Australian shareholder class actions have been commenced against TWE Limited.

The first action was served on 2 April 2020 by Slater & Gordon (S&G) acting for Brett Stallard as trustee for the Stallard 
superannuation fund. The second action was served on 1 May 2020 by Maurice Blackburn (MB) acting for Steven Napier. 
The class in both proceedings comprise shareholders who purchased shares between 30 June 2018 and 28 January 2020. 
Both proceedings allege that the Company breached its continuous disclosure obligations under the ASX Listing Rules 
and the Corporations Act and that it engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct in contravention of the Corporations 
Act and the ASIC Act. The two actions were consolidated into a single action on 15 October 2020.

With regard to claims, the Company strongly denies any and all allegations made against it and is vigorously defending 
the proceedings.

Based on the information currently available, the Company does not know the quantum of either class action. 
No provision has been recognised at 30 June 2021 in respect of the claim.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)

Key Audit Matters 

The Key Audit Matters we identified are: 

  Valuation of inventory; and 

  Recognition of discounts and rebates. 

Key  Audit  Matters  are  those  matters  that,  in  our 
professional judgement, were of most significance in our 
audit of the Financial Report of the current period.  

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit 
of  the  Financial  Report  as  a  whole,  and  in  forming  our 
opinion  thereon,  and  we  do  not  provide  a  separate 
opinion on these matters. 

Valuation of inventory (total finished goods and work in progress inventory was $1,896.5 
million) 

Refer to Note 9 Working Capital to the Financial Report  

TThe key audit matter 

THow the matter was addressed in our audit 

Our procedures included: 

 

 

 

Ttesting key controls designed by the Group to 
identify slow moving and obsolete inventories 
(including  wine  held  by  third  party  distributors 
and  retailers),  which  if  existing,  may  indicate 
valuation  issues  with  work  in  progress  and 
finished goods; 

in  progress  and 

Ttesting year-end inventory valuation models, in 
particular  the  identification  and  valuation  of 
work 
finished  goods 
considered to be ‘at risk’ (i.e. where the costs 
may  potentially  exceed  the  estimated  net 
realisable  value  at  the  time  of  sale).  We 
considered  forecast  sales  plans, 
inventory 
holding  reports  (including  wine  held  by  third 
party  distributors  and  retailers),  committed 
future  supply  contracts  and  the  outcomes  of 
the  Group’s  process  to  identify  slow  moving 
and  obsolete  inventories.  For  a  sample  of  ‘at

the  underlying 

TThe  valuation  of  inventories  of  finished  goods 
and work in progress is a key audit matter as we 
need  to  consider  estimates  and  judgements 
made  by  the  Group.  These  include  inherently 
subjective  judgements  about  forecast  demand 
and  estimated  market  sales  prices  at  the  time 
the wine is expected to be sold. We focus our 
work on assessing the judgements contained in 
the valuation models for: 

 

 

Tthe  period  of  time  over  which  some 
harvested  grapes  are  converted  from  work 
in  progress  to  bottled  wine  ready  for  sale 
(the holding period) which can be a number 
of years depending on the varietal and type 
of wine; and 

Tforecast  demand  and  market  sales  prices, 
which  can  fluctuate  significantly  over  the 
holding  period  and  are  influenced  by  the 
fundamentals  of  the  global  wine  industry, 
including fluctuations in demand and supply 
and  other  factors  that  impact  agricultural 
outputs. These factors influence the Group’s 
determination  of  the  most  likely  market 
conditions  at  the  estimated  date  of  sale.  A 
key  indicator  for  at-risk  inventory  values, 
in 
finished  goods  and  work 
including 
progress 
is  the 
in  the  holding  period, 
identification  of  current  slow  moving  and 
inventories.  These  can  signal 
obsolete 
changes  in  consumer  demand  patterns  or 
potential  over-supply  issues  which  may 
impact forecast prices.

TThe key audit matter 

THow the matter was addressed in our audit 

TThe Group’s policy is to record net sales revenue 
at  the  time  goods  are  shipped  to  customers 
based  on  the  price  specified  in  the  sales 
agreement,  net  of  any  estimated  discount  or 
rebate.  In  some  cases,  the  discount  or  rebate 
will  not  be  finally  determined  or  paid  until  the 
inventory  is  depleted  from  the  customer’s 
warehouse, which may be some time after the 
Group’s  sale  date  to  their  customer.  Sales 
agreement terms and historical trends are used 
by  the  Group  to  estimate  the  discounts.  The 
impact of any one-off events are considered by 
the Group in the estimation of the accrual.  

TAt  year  end,  the  Group  estimates  and  accrues 
amounts for discounts and rebates they consider 
have been incurred and not yet paid. The Group’s 
estimation of these amounts at the year-end is 
considered  as  a  key  audit  matter  due  to  the 
significance  of  the  Group  judgements  applied 
and 
customer 
arrangements that are in place. For example, the 
Group’s  judgement  is  required  to  estimate  the 
rebates  are 
accrual  where  discounts  and

targets and the performance year does not align 
to the Group’s financial year.

Our procedures included: 

  considering the appropriateness of the Group’s 
accounting  policy  for  the  recognition  and 
measurement  of  net  sales  revenue,  including 
the policy for recording discounts and rebates, 
by  assessing  compliance  with  applicable 
accounting standards; 

 

testing the estimation of discounts and rebates 
accruals.  We  used  underlying  documentation 
such  as  customer  agreements,  shipment  and 
depletion data, claims for discounts and rebates 
along with cash payments made. We evaluated 
the estimate, for a sample of customers, by:  

  checking amounts to the agreements; and 

  analysing  sales  and  depletion  to  date,  and 
depletion  programs  expected  to  take  place 
in  future  periods  against  sales  budgets, 
depletion plans and actual claims, to assess 
the  estimate  of  discounts  and  rebates 
incurred but not yet paid.  

 

testing  key  controls  in  significant  jurisdictions 
for  calculating, 
reviewing  and  approving 
discounts and rebates; 

  assessing  the  integrity  of  the  discount  and

Other Information 

Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Treasury Wine Estates Limited’s annual 
reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors 
are responsible for the Other Information.  

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not 
express  an  audit  opinion  or  any  form  of  assurance  conclusion  thereon,  with  the  exception  of  the 
Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. 

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. 
In doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial 
Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, 
and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date 
of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The Directors are responsible for: 

  preparing  the  Financial  Report  that  gives  a  true  and  fair  view  in  accordance  with  Australian 

Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 

 

implementing  necessary  internal  control  to  enable  the  preparation  of  a  Financial  Report  that 
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error 

  assessing the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use 
of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, 
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they 
either intend to liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is: 

 

 

to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  Financial  Report  as  a  whole  is  free  from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and  

to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.  

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards  will  always  detect  a  material  misstatement  when  it 
exists. 

Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error.  They  are  considered  material  if,  individually  or  in  the 
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on 
the basis of the Financial Report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board website at http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf 
This description forms part of our Auditor’s Report.
